Comment 24 for bug 282316

Selecting PulseAudio does not solve the problem for me at all.

I seem to be struggling with PulseAudio. I had to uninstall Pulseaudio and
all its components completely to be able to record anything. So in between
for a short period recording began to work. Then again, all of a sudden,
sound completely stopped. I can no longer hear sound now. Each time the the
System beep occurs the speakers start a loud static noise that sounds more
like an old radio searching for a station.

I don't care and know what driver and which particular module is not
working. SOUND IS NOT WORKING. That's the summary. The SOUND SUPPORT SUCKS.

I have been trying my best with searching all bug reports on this.

Here are some details:

My sound card is Intel HDA. I do see that there are some specific issues
with this - I don't know and understand them - they are greek to me.

$ uname -r
2.6.27-7-generic

$ lspci | grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio
Controller (rev 03)

Here is a link I found for this family of HD Audio controller
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Intel_82801H_HDA

Please help. I just don't even know where to begin. This is very
frustrating. Sound works on my other laptop which has nVIDIA HDA and in this
one with Intel HDA, it fails miserably.
