Comment 33 for bug 94373

Guys,

This is how I've fixed my Thinkpad T60p. My laptop didn't have sound at all.

sudo apt-get install build-essential ncurses-dev gettext
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
cd /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic
sudo mkdir alsa

Now download the latest drivers from http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page

sudo tar xf alsa-driver-1.0.15.tar.bz2
sudo tar xf alsa-lib-1.0.15.tar.bz2
sudo tar xf alsa-utils-1.0.15.tar.bz2

cd alsa-driver-1.0.15/
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install

- repeat the same step fro alsa-lib and alsa-utils

then

sudo depmod -a

and

reboot

My Intel Card start working. Listed below its the card from my system:
