[ca0132] Sound: only dummy output

Bug Description
On Dell Alienware 14x Ubuntu 12.04 sound was working. After few weeks it stopped working. I played around with the sound settings choosing between the different options. I thought it would be wise to disable sound for a while and then enable. This changes the sound settings. The ability to choose options disappears. So after disable once, it will disable forever. Is there a documented way to get sound or sound options back?
Ubuntu is a struggle.

Hi, and thanks for reporting this bug.
After talking a bit with upstream, it seems like the driver for your soundcard is not yet really ready. Creative Labs is still working on the DSP Loader code. But at least I was able to correct something that hopefully will improve it a bit, if so, hopefully you can try this on Wednesday: https:/

The verification of this Stable Release Update has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regresssions.

The sudden working indicates a broken initramfs, which may be either a bug in the update routine or a full /boot partition. If you have this problem (again), please
- run update-initramfs -k all -c
- check /boot free blocks: df -h

Today - first day of the new year - sound is gone again. I don't understand why sound is such a tough issue on Linux/Ubuntu. We just don't seem to fix it right.
I tried the update-initramfs and df- h. Looks okay. Update does not show any errors or anything. I have around 3 GB free on boot partition.
I'm creating a new bug report

The number one reason is probably that the hardware is so diverse, perhaps even more than other areas and components.
Sound settings now show:
Play sound through: Dummy Output.
Above "Test Sound" the select list to choose between options is gone.
Do I need to reinstall????
