I have a D630 and the module-assistant workaround works for me to get the speakers going (but have external speaker problem where internal speakers don't mute when using phone jack). Now I have one serious issue left which is getting the internal microphone working, I need Skype and I need it bad! I enabled all the recording volume settings (InVol and InMux) but don't have any success, is there a specific recording volume setting that I should check for this to work? I also have the 'Options' tab enable and 'Input Source' is 'Mic'. Tried with 'Line In as Output' checked and unchecked without any success or change in results.

Here are my details (let me know if somebody needs more/other details?):

root@myubu:~# lspci | grep -i audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)
root@myubu:~# lspci -n | grep 00:1b.0
00:1b.0 0403: 8086:284b (rev 02)

I truly hope this gets resolved before Gutsy goes GA as I would cringe to shamefully admit that sound is broken on my favorite laptop OS until you build ALSA from source and then still don't have the microphone working :-((
