Probably caused by http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-lucid.git;a=commit;h=afcbc7ee8b6b20c0480245b829787f12964d669f . Try 'model=dell' and see if that makes it work again? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto has documentation on how to use the model parameter.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-lucid' to 'verification-done-lucid'.

If verification is not done by one week from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

I am no longer able to verify the fix as I've since upgraded the netbook to 11.10 (since the notification that 10.04 was no longer supported on netbooks).

Brad Figg (brad-figg) wrote :

The patch reverts a stable upstream patch that was not intended for 2.6.32 but for 2.6.38 instead. The application of this patch in 2.6.32 has caused a regression. The commit is a one line "fix" which removes a single quirk. I believe that we should accept this patch even though the original bug submitter is no longer able to verify the fix.
