Comment 32 for bug 318942

What is the chance that this will be fixed for the 9.04 release? I just received notification that the RC has been released, and at least as late as last night, this still wasn't fixed on my wife's HP Mini.

This might not be the right forum for this, but it makes me sad when she says "I like the idea of running Linux on it, but I like it better when everything works." Given that (a) this worked in 8.10, and regressed for 9.04, and (b) 9.04 is explicitly a release that is supposed to focus on improving netbook compatibility, I am disappointed that something as simple as sound from the speaker is broken out-of-the-box. It would be more understandable if this were some esoteric sound card, but there are only a handful of netbook architectures, and the HP mini is exactly the platform that this release is supposed to target.
