Hello,
I can confirm that installing Alsa 1.0.17 on my Hardy install using the script that can be found in the link above fixed all my sound problems. I have a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Xi2428 laptop.
Additionally, I have tried installing Intepid alpha 4 (which I believe comes with alsa 1.0.17) on an Fujitsu u810, and the sound works. Using Hardy (alsa 1.0.16), the problem is that when I plus in my headphones, the speaker does not mute. That problem is solved with intrepid. I still need to try to install Alsa 1.0.17 on hardy on that laptop. I'll let you know about the result.
I personally think this solves so many problems with hda_intel, which I believe is on pretty much all centrino platforms (and that's a sizable chunk of the laptop market), that it really needs to be included into the current LTS release. That's unless you plan on keeping people stuck with a broken sound for the next year and a half.
