It seems you have updated your alsa drivers from somewhere. If you manually compiled the alsa drivers, then I suggest you re-install your kernel to replace the drivers with the drivers from the latest lucid kernel, i.e re-install the package linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic. If you installed updated alsa drivers from the Ubuntu Audio Dev PPA https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive, then I suggest you uninstall this package, to determine whether sound works again. The package you want to uninstall is linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.32-24-generic.

Either way, once you remove the package or re-install the kernel, please run the following command in a terminal: apport-collect -p alsa-base https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/643964/+attachment/1615804/+files/CurrentDmesg.txt

Please report back as to whether this helps.

Thanks Luke. Yes, I installed alsa from Ubuntu Audio Dev PPA when my sound
disappear and it was OK until new Ubuntu update. I solved it in this way:

sudo apt-get purge linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils

I have a very similar problem. Sound was OK, then an update and suddenly no sound card found. I have re-installed the kernel image, purged alsa etc. but still no joy. If you need any info about my system, please let me know.

Funny thing, my Windows partition had no prob with the card, but I
reinstalled xp pro for the heck of it and xp pro didn't find the sound card
either. As a last ditch effort I moved the card to a new slot in my tower
and it worked. I haven't booted into ubuntu yet since because I haven't
redone grub. But maybe try switching slots. For 10 min of work its worth a
shot.
