[STAGING] No audio from internal soundcard on EeePC 1000H

[James Harrison]

EeePC1000H, 10.10 worked fine, 11.04's current kernel is not working at all. Internal headphone/mic jacks and internal mic/speakers were both tested. Tried ALSA backend raw as well as PulseAudio.

To update on this; after recent updates I figured I'd try this again and had a fiddle; nothing worked by default, but after prodding alsamixer, turned out the outputs were muted. In previous updates, muting and unmuting the outputs made no change, but now this works and I have at least audio playing out at this stage. I have yet to test recording.
