I'm attaching the output of lspci too

Ooops, I've forgotten to say that sound works right however.

[Hilario J. Montoliu (hjmf) (hmontoliu)]

I solved the issue some time ago but I hadn't got the chance to put some feedback

The issue got solved when I removed the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file generated by alsa-base (which I'm attaching here).

Indeed what I did was to purge (un-install) the alsa-base package as seems that now the sound is provided by pulseaudio.

Hopefully in next upgrade this issue will be handler better :-)

Hi Hilario,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid.

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 374108

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
