Same problem here with what lspci reports to be a "VIA Technologies, Inc.
VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50)" (note it works with a rev 60
controller somebody in #ubuntu is using.

I did everything from playing with alsa-mixer to find a working combination
(although I didn't try the Scientific Method on it yet) to cat'ing vmlinuz into
/dev/dsp as root to recompiling ALSA as recommended by `crimsun' in #ubuntu and
also booting with noapic/nolapic/pci=noacpi/irqpoll. I even disabled the USB
controller which had been interrupt-sharing with the soundcard. All to no avail.

A few interesting things though: Line out and CD audio are working just fine.
The GNOME mixer as well as alsa-mixer are showing extremely confused channels:
For example "Master" isn't something you can adjust, just something you can turn
on or off, same with PCM. Also, esd won't start and gstreamer is unable to build
a "test pipe" for ALSA.

Please let me know if you need any additional information; I'm kind of anxious
not having to stay with Warty just for sound :-)

P.S.: The new "Foresight Linux Desktop" which I had installed out of curiousity
has the same problem, if that helps any.

P.P.S.: Yes, the versions of the alsa package is the same as in /proc/asound/version
