same issue for me. I haven't had audio through 8.04, 8.10, and 9.04.

Hardy didn't show a volume icon and couldn't find any audio devices.
Intrepid showed a volume icon but had an X through.
Jaunty sees the device, has the volume icon, but outputs no sound.

Currently using Jaunty, 2.6.28-11-generic, otherwise specs are exactly as OP posted.

Hi anoopjohn,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid.

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 361200

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

I'm experiencing the same issue with an ASUS K8V-X SE motherboard and the latest lucid with updates.

Appears to be a well-known issue with this mobo.

http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/showproduct.php/product/3517/cat/all

Is there a solution?

Attaching apport-results as requested.
