Hi, and thanks for bringing this up. I would like to update the wiki
with some verified commands. Would you like to elaborate on how you got
the 1000 kernel with jack to produce sound (commands)? So far, your
report is the first that I have seen that sound would actually work with
1000.

Also, if you have the time, with the 1001 kernel, use 'amixer scontents'
to dump the current mixer settings and 'alsamixer' to set them one by
one in a cycle and test the sound. Then, when you've found the switch,
compare the outputs of that and the previous cycle's 'amixer scontents'
output to find the exact name of the control to be set. That way, we can
update the wiki with the exact and correct 'amixer set' commands as well
as a possibility to integrate this into the default 12.04 install.
Please also share with us the full 'amixer scontents' output of the
working setup.

Best regards,
Johan
