Hi Mark,

Thanks so much - it certainly did help.
Apparently I had to force the upgrade to Alsa 1.0.23 and all is well now 
... almost :)
How do I make Skype use Alsa instead of PulseAudio? - there's no option 
to change that in Skype audio devices properties, i.e. only PulseAudio 
is listed. And all my business contacts are on skype :(

There was a warning that I should run this as a super-user, so I did 
same with sudo, the output is almost the same, but there are few more 
details re pci bus:

[ubuntu-uk] Sound problem in Sony Vaio VPCEC1S1E

2010-06-01 Thread DaveGK
Does anyone know how to fix the sound problem in Sony Vaio VPCEC1S1E?
I've installed the backport alsa generic and can also see backport alsa 
specific for my kernel, but still no sound. Ubuntu Lucid 64-bit.

Any help will be greatly appreciated - only have a couple of days before 
I have to either keep or return this laptop.
