none worked : boot options (irqpoll,pci=noacpi), single_cmd=1, position_fix=1, several models of hda-inteldriver, I tried 1.0.13 and 1.0.14rc4 driver, with debug on... I must add that I already had this problem with previous distributionsof Ubuntu. It worked with an old one (Breezy) then in Dapper and Edgy,it did worked ONLY when I self-compiled the driver with debug optionenabled I never understood why. And now with Feisty/alsa 1.0.13/ubuntukernel 2.6.20, or an ubuntu kernel with self-compiled alsa 1.0.14rc4, itdoes not work. I cannot have one sound :-(. Please help me ....
