[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#637620: alsa-base: No sound with Realtek ALC889A card

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.23+dfsg-4
Severity: important

As of this Wednesday 8/10/11, sound suddenly no longer works on my system.  I
have attempted a few troubleshooting steps identified by this link
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto but have not had any
success after hours and hours of tinkering.  I could not see a particular
update which happened between the last reboot and Wednesday that would have
suddenly caused a loss of sound but did attempt reverting all of these packages
to previous squeeze releases.  I have confirmed no spid outputs are muted in
alsamixer.  All packages deployed are from the latest wheeze release.

Sound is critical for this machine and the only solution I have is to swap
drives and boot into Windows.  Can someone please help me figure out what is
wrong or how I can restore sound?

Here are some excerpts from dmesg, lsmod, aplay, proc/asound/cards, amixer, and
lspci for review:
