Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Mark Lukens (marcus-21)]

I have the same exact problem with my system on Ubuntu Natty 64-bit. I tried updating to the most recent ALSA driver daily version, uninstalling/re-installing, etc., hoping that perhaps something I did would resolve the situation, but nothing helped. Ubuntu with no sound reduces its usefulness a lot -- videos have no sound, can't listen to music, etc. Any hope of a fix?

I'm experiencing the same bug on a fresh installation of 12.10 (the card is an HT Omega eClaro, using the same CMI8788 chipset). lspci shows both the onboard sound and the sound card, but only onboard sound can be selected.
