Perhaps I spoke too soon. After rebooting I lost sound completely again. I tried:

* Booting into Windows then booting into kernel 3.8
* Booting with kernel 3.8 with headphones plugged into the rear headphone jack.
* Purging and reconfiguring alsa and delete asound's from /var/lib/alsa and rebooting
* Booting with position fix off and on
* Booting into kernel 3.11 with position fix off and on
* Booting into kernel 3.11 with headphones plugged into the rear and front headphone jacks.

Nothing works. Furthermore, apparently if I boot with kernel 3.11 there are about 6 error messages, two of which say permission error, and the screen is black with just the cursor for about 5 seconds before Unity decides to load. Half the time Ubuntu hangs when booting, so that's a major problem. Then if you use unity --replace & disown, unity will completely explode, then sometimes Qt programs just look horrible. I guess I'm going to have to stick with Ubuntu 13.04 on this machine.
