to place some cookies, for people how have the same problem and found a workaround!
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=284405 this also works for me on my Omnibook 4500 with Ubuntu 8.04.1: >1) In the BIOS set soundcard to AUTO >2) I deleted /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base (actually I MOVED it to a safe place >just in case) >2b) I deleted the "blacklist sb" line from /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-oss file >3) I created /etc/modprobe.d/inspiron3500snd >4) File /etc/modprobe.d/inspiron3500snd is composed of the stanzas posted by >Pianoman72: >Code: > >blacklist snd-opl3sa2 >blacklist snd-nm256 >alias snd-card-0 snd-sb8 >options snd-card-0 index=0 >options snd-sb8 irq=5 port=0x220 dma8=1 >install snd-sb8 /sbin/modprobe snd_seq; /sbin/modprobe snd_opl3_synth; >/sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-sb8 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >>/dev/null 2>&1 || : >remove snd-sb8 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; >/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-sb8 >The last 2 lines are rather complex.

The stanza that I added is : >snd-sb8 I tried several other solutions flying around in the internet (including cs4232 and siblings) but non of them works.
