Asked by Guy Yedwab

Having sound issues on Lucid Lynx. Have upgraded my ALSA to the latest version. It was working on Lucid Lynx until the most recent Kernel updates (10/4/10). Am following the procedure documented here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure

Using the following command:
bash alsa-info.sh --stdout

Here is the output:
