Comment 5 for bug 1066814

Thank you Raymond for insight and help with this problem.

The softvol master volume must have been from a try with asound.rc config, but it didn't help.
Here is updated alsa-info script without asound.rc:

Meanwhile, in order to test sound, I have tried severeal live distros including: Ubuntu/Lubuntu 12.10, Mint, Crunchbang and the result is the same: no sound or sound that is very low with a lot of noise.

Tried to update alsa to 1.0.25 following this tutorial: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1681577
but that also failed, resulting with "no driver to compile".

Don't know what else to try, and cannot believe that after more than 7 years with Linux now when I finally have completely Intel based computer the sound is making this much trouble.
