No sound kernel 3.13 ALC887-VD but kernel 3.14 fixes it

Asked by ted chang

My sound hardware doesnt seem to be supported on the vanilla ubuntu 13.10 or 14.04. However, the fix seems to be updating the kernel to 3.14. This sound card is integrated in the motherboard and I am using the analog jack. I am not sure whether or not to report it as a bug or something.

I reran the script under the current vanilla ubuntu kernel 3.13 so you can compare logs

I suggest you report a bug, state that the newer kernel resolves the issue
