No sound with sigmatel sound card and ALSA
I have a Sigmatel sound card in a Dell Precission M90 that was recognized during installatin of the software, but during my getting to know Ubuntu it was deleted by hackers, using the default generic sound card did work for a while, but currently after some updates and a try to pay mp4 files I managed to play MP4 fine but without sound. Somehow all the steps in troubleshooting sound in the Ubuntu documentation do not manage to restore my sound.
Here is the requested listing from the gnome terminal, with unlimted enabled, so you really got it all here. Great OS platform though only my sound card somehow isn't supported or so on 10.04 LTS. Hope you have suggestions.
