[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#519900: Alsa-Base: no audio for Intel 82801G (ICH7 Family) audio card

[Jeffrey Thomas]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.19.dfsg-1
Severity: important

Not the same, but similar to this Debian bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=416065

Maybe the same as this Ubuntu bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/95597

Cannot get sound to work on HP Pavilion dv2000 laptop.  I've tried the steps outlined here but still not working:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=455147

Audio worked under Windows a few days ago.  This isn't my laptop so I won't be able to test much with this, but without audio it is somewhat useless for their needs.
