Hi,
I've recently lost all sound drivers in Ubuntu 8.04, Dell mini 12 - possibly after an upgrade. Previously it worked well. Now there is no /dev/snd/ and reinstallation of alsa packages and gstreamer plus modprobe and reboot failed to fix the problem I do have a recognised soundcard as follows:

   lspci | grep -i audio
   00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) HD Audio Controller (rev 06)

After reinstalling modules as follows I thought the problem would be fixed,
    sudo apt-get install linux-ubuntu-modules-$(uname -r) 

But no! The modules are all there but sound is not working. 

   find /lib/modules/`uname -r` | grep snd
   /lib/modules/2.6.24-24-lpia/ubuntu/snd-bt-sco.ko
   /lib/modules/2.6.24-24-lpia/ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver/isa/sb/snd-sb-common.ko

... (lots of other modules but none which look like Pouslbo chip, unless its masquerading as another name)...

Am I right in suspecting this is a Poulsbo issue? Or is there some other problem I am missing. It would be nice to get Amarok back in business. 

thanks M
