[Bug 660488] [NEW] sound card(s) not detected in Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat

Hello,

I made a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 on my new computer but I cannot
get audio to work at all. No soundcard gets detected even though lspci
lists two audio devices. I spent the whole day yesterday looking for a
solution and tried out various things seen in forum posts and also
followed the audio troubleshooting guide in the Ubuntu wiki twice. I run
a desktop system manifactured by a local computer vendor, so the usual
advice for laptop models or wider available PC systems do not seem to
work.

I ran the alsa script and the output can be seen here: http://www.alsa-
project.org/db/?f=15a9592c35f17938b1c658db4faec1cc8c60bc85

A parallel Windows7 installation suffers from no audio problems, so I
think I can outrule hardware damages as cause. I also was able to
disable the onboard sound in the BIOS which resulted in the Radeon HD
audio device showing up in the gnome mixer but I could not get any
hearable audio output on either headphones or speakers (tried all ports.
This also resulted in no sound in win7 btw.).  I would love to try and
block the other audio device from loading and only have the onboard
sound card loading but I cannot make this setting in my BIOS.

I hope someone could help me with this. Besides that my installation is
running very smoothly. If I need to submit more informationen I am more
than willing to submit it (will monitor this topic all the time).

Kind regards,
Mark
