Public bug reported: This guy on freenode #ubuntu+1 had working sound in feisty and now it doesn't work in gutsy. He ran a script which dumped all the alsa info (the output is posted below). His sound card was based on the Intel HDA specification and the codec chip was a "SigmaTel STAC9221 A1" / "conexant".
Relevant comments from other people on IRC: <crimsun> support for that codec is incomplete <crimsun> i.e., patch_conexant.c doesn't contain the necessary pins/nids for it 1. ################################ 2.
