The sound worked after a full restart. restarts depend on certain things I guess, I am using my HDA alsa mixer well unfortunately I left the battery unplugged from my laptop then the sound didnt work when I plugged it back in.

I'm not suggesting design by committee, but...someone needs to take a step back and realize this was a bad idea. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind a configuration option to mute the sound at startup at boot -- nothing quite like a loud startup chime in the middle of class or something. Though, the easier solution would be just to change the Sounds configuration to remove the startup and login sounds....

Amarok was working after I installed kubuntu-restricted-extras I think (I'm actually not sure, because I installed some others too, which I don't remember ^^). As Songbird still had no sound, just some noise came out of the boxes, I looked into the sound mixer through the tray sound Icon. I turned Surround, Center, LFE and PCM to unmute because they where set to mute, Finally I have sound - but why should they be set to unmute from start, what were those developers thinking?!

It's possible that there may be multiple solutions to this particular problem. Thanks for the heads up! I wonder which one is more "correct" -- probably your solution, since it changes the actual model configuration that is used... Interesting.

I used to work at 7.10 with the same problem, the solution to the problem is to add "options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1 model=3stack" to /etc/modprobe.conf When updating to 9.04, I make changes as in 7.10, but it doesn't work this time. I found the page http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3796486&postcount=1 and change "options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1 model=3stack" to "options snd-hda-intel model=dell-3stack" and edit "alsa-utils" as you told, restart and it works!. Then I comment lines added in "alsa-utils", restart and it also works. You can have a try, may be could help. hello, I find here by the same problem.

My volume was turned all the way down and the only way to fix it was to run alsamixer from the terminal. I had the same problem.
