I have the same sound card. It works fantastic with Ubuntu 6.06, but I get no sound from 12.04. I'm keeping myself in a "partially configured limbo mode" (via expert and "server" modes), and attempting to figure out why one version would work, but not another. alsa-utils, in 6.06 has asoundconf, but 12.04 doesn't. But I carried just that file forward but still haven't found the magic.
If I try to start an application, it tells me it can't find a sound card. (This is an overview post: I have been collecting lots of output from both Ubuntu 6.06 and 12.04, hoping to "meet in the middle". Example: Comparing "dpkg -l" differences between versions. Data will be available to you if needed). I'm carefully examining the actions in this post, and may find my own answer. My question is more general: What's different between v6 and v12?
