Bug Description

I have just installed the latest Ubuntu 10.10 x64 desktop release. This is a dual boot an my Asus Laptop With Windows 7,
Windows 7 was installed first. Sound is fine on Windows 7 but I have nothing on Ubuntu. I can here a small clicking sound
when I boot into Ubuntu like unplugging a headphone jack. Everything else works fine but no sound, from headphones or speakers. There are 5 sneakers on this laptop. I have tried all the combinations on the sound property tab. There are a lot of options hdmi audo etc...but no luck at all. I will try to find help on the forums ect. Perhaps the drivers are not installed? I am new to Linux and have not found a device manager like in windows where i can isolate my sound card and try to update the drivers.
Please help...
Thank you
Scott

What Profile is selected in Sound Preferences > Hardware tab, and what Connector is selected in Output tab?

I have tried all the different profiles in the hardware tab and the
output tabs using the test speaker buttons also playing a video
no sound at all with the speakers or headphones
I am not sure what are the correct profiles to get the
sound working?
profiles are as follows:
HD48x0 audio
1 Output
Digital Stero(HDMI) output

Internal Audio
1 output / 1 input

There are two 1 output hdmi
and the internal audio

the connector in the output tab has ether
analog output or analog headphones?

Well after spending many days trying to sort this out in the forums and following all the many
sound trouble shooting guides I gave up...
I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.4 after finding out that the sound worked right away from the live disc.
I installed 10.04 to my hard drive and after doing a full update sound still works perfectly right out of the
box. i do not know what is going on with the perfect 10? i guess it is not a stable release?
Still early days with 10.04 but my first impressions is that 10.4 is much more stable.

Confirmed this in many distribution with a modern kernel. This is not ubuntu, but alsa problem.
It seems to be broken between 2.6.34.10 and 2.6.35.13 (diff is attached)
You can fix this by reversing attached patch and recompiling the kernel.
