[Alsa-user] no sound in ubuntu 8.10 on AD1986 sound card

Hi all, I am facing a very perplexing issue with sound in Ubuntu 8.10 which I have never encountered before with linux. I do not hear any sound from my speakers. The sound card is AD 1986 (Analog Devices) and it worked wonderfully without any hiccups before on 8.10 and other Ubuntu versions. My a

I completely agree, but I just bought a CM108 USB sound card from NewEgg. Its $19 and I've probably spent a lot more time trying to get an Intel HDA working. Why is there a need to keep a bunch of different drivers under the same package? The Linux drivers do not have a history of attempting to
