I'm running a computer with a Soyo K7VME motherboard. The onboard sound is handled by a VIA V82xx device.
According to everything I've seen, the system is set up correctly.
I followed the instructions at RestrictedFormats[1] to allow my fresh install of 6.06 to play MP3s, but this didn't work. Programs can play mp3s now, but I'm not hearing any output. I know the speakers work, I just tested them by plugging them into my iPod. Audio-out worked Back In The Day when this computer was running Windows XP, so I don't think the hardware is damaged in any way.
I set out to follow the Comprehensive Sound Problem Solutions Guide[2]. It hasn't really helped.
2. Type this into the shell: lspci -v
dlg@pedro:~$ lspci -v | grep -A5 Audio
0000:00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50)
Subsystem: Unknown device a723:10fd
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 185
I/O ports at e000 [size=256] Capabilities: <available only to root>
dlg@pedro:~$
4. Now go back to the shell and type sudo modprobe snd-...
dlg@pedro:~$ lsmod | grep ^snd_via
snd_via82xx 28824 1
dlg@pedro:~$
the module was already loaded automatically at boot.
I checked alsamixer, none of the outputs are muted.
I hear no output playing an mp3 in Movie Player, Rhythmbox, gxine or mpg123.
Clicking the "Test" button in gstreamer-properties for each of the audio output options produces no output.
and so, even though this is a fresh install, I re-install the audio
someone at CIALUG suggests[3] blacklisting the snd-via82xx-modem module. It didn't have any effect on the problem.
This was originally submitted at the Ubuntu forums[4], but recieved little (as of this writing, no) attention. Matthew Nuzum suggested[5] I file this as a bug here. Thank you for your help.

and reboot.
and still no sound.
