Have the same problem, as well. I installed linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic to no avail. Still have no sound.

Strangely enough, Last.fm player recognizes the hardware and will play directly to it (I hear music out of the speakers).
Also when I plug in my logitech usb speakers they also work (show up in the selection box for hardware in alsa as well).

ok I figured it out, make sure that you do not select the modem driver in the hardware driver updater. I unchecked and now it works!
