Please note that this is the 9.04 kernel, not the 9.10 kernel.

Were you prompted to reboot after upgrade? Have you done so?

If you have rebooted and the 9.04 kernel is still the one running, were
you prompted during the upgrade about whether to keep changes to
/boot/grub/menu.lst vs. letting the system overwrite this file? Please
attach /boot/grub/menu.lst and /boot/grub/menu.lst~ from the affected
system in this case.

I was prompted and I did reboot.
I didn't let system to overwrite my menu.lst file, so I guess that's
where the problem is. I don't know how to change that now.

It seems that after upgrading to Karmic you are still
booting a non-Karmic kernel. There may have been an
issue updating grub during the upgrade.

In a terminal run:
  sudo mv /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.backup
  sudo update-grub
  sudo reboot

After rebooting, in a terminal run:
  uname -a

Verify that the kernel you are now booting is of the
2.6.31 variety. It should look something like: "Linux bradf-home 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:05:01 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux"

If, after booting with a Karmic kernel you are still
having audio issues, change this bug back to new and
run:
  apport-collect -p alsa-base 473225

Changed in alsa-driver (Ubuntu):
status: New → Incomplete

Thank you and sorry for the trouble. I just thought my sound device
finds difficulties with new sotfware.
