Ok guys, I found it. I think a lot of people might have the same problem, because it took me a lot of googling to go through all different sound-problems people have with different solutions which sometimes work and sometimes don't work.
In the end I found the following reported bug (sorry I didn't find it earlier), #82988, see https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa- driver/+question/82988. Now in that report is suggested to upgrade alsa, which I found in many, many, many other reports as well, including https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting what I guess is something like "the official Ubuntu soundtrouble guide". And after the upgrade of alsa finally you have to download hda-verb, and install it. Now, this works fine, but I was curious, and reinstalled ubuntu 9.10 again, this time I intentionally did not upgrade alsa and performed the "hda-dev"-procedure. And guess what, that was all it took. Sound is working, although I haven't tested it thoroughly yet, since I just got it working. Now if I look at http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/mandriva/2010.0/x86_64/media/contrib/release/hda-verb-0.3-2mdv2010.0.x86_64.html a description of the program can be read there, but I copy it here: "hda-verb is a tiny program that allows you to access the HD-audio codecs directly, allowing you to send commands (verbs) to them. For hda-verb to work you must be running a linux kernel with CONFIG_SND_HDA_HWDEP option enabled." Now I wonder if I'm using alsa to talk to the sound-card or if this is directly communicating with the kernel, but hey.... who cares, it works! Thanks a lot to the people in bug-report #82988 who found out about hda- dev and especially to Mandriva who made the program. I think it is a shame, this is needed. Perhaps it can be at least be added to the SoundTroubleshooting Guide so that more people can find this more easily. But for the rest, Ubuntu is great !
