Ubuntu seems to have problems with Intel High Definition Audio chips of various persuasions. On my HP notebook, the sound worked fine with the *buntu 8.04 live Cds, but didn't work once they were installed on the hard drive. It appears to be some confusion by the Ubuntu modprobe process--the configuration file reads quite differently when running in Live CD mode than when installed.
However, in my case, the login screen problem--making the text for the various menu choices enormous and not being feasible to choose other window managers and such--was something I never did find a way to overcome. This problem cropped up about three or four Ubuntu versions ago...and despite searching everywhere I could on the Web and filing a bug report with Ubuntu Forums, I never could resolve it. My solution was to install OpenSUSE 11. Everything works, thankfully, including the Intel HDA. The only glitch was the original 800x600 graphics resolution--but that was easily fixed through YAST. Sorry I couldn't be more help...but if you find the right lines in the config file, you can probably alter them with a text editor (in root mode using sudo) and have success that way.
