Comment 19 for bug 99848

Perhaps I could help since I have the same problem on a Gateway laptop with the Intel ICH6. The laptop was running Windows XP until I loaded 8.04 last week. When I loaded 8.04, I lost all sound. Not even the boot up and login sounds can be heard. I just loaded 8.10 but still have no sound. Attached are the outputs that you requested from Scott. I would really like to switch to Ubuntu but this is a show stopper. Hopefully, I can give you some good feedback or maybe there is a simple workaround. Thanks in advance to any help you can provide.
