Ok, after some studying found out that the front and rear outputs work independently and the front has 2 different ways of usage hda and ac97. My case is a bit older than the motherboard and doesn't support hda on the front panel. There is a bios setting for the type of front panel (hda/ac97). when I changed the setting to ac97 sound started working. Maybe the old drivers used the ac97 setting even if the bios setting had been wrong since when I built this system.
This bug's summary should be rewritten to: "no sound from front output when upgrading from lucid to maverick" and status to invalid. -- [VIA VT1708S] ALSA test tone not correctly played back https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/664062 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
