Hi, I now read the bug-status as mentioned in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status. I reset the status of this bug to
"new" according to the latest line in that link that describes that
whenever the bug-reporter add new information, the status should be
reset to "new".

What I would like to be clear is that the sound was not fixed by an
update (Yes, I did an update, but that by itself did not give me sound).
Perhaps I was not clear in my previous comments, so below the procedure
I executed and which made the sound work (executed as regular user).

#Procedure to add sound using the hda-verb software of Mandriva
mkdir -p ~/tmp/fixsound
cd ~/tmp/fixsound
wget ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/tiwai/misc/hda-verb-0.3.tar.gz
tar -xvmf hda-verb-0.3.tar.gz
cd hda-verb-0.3
make
sudo cp hda-verb /usr/local/sbin
#next lines assumes that the string "exit 0" is the last uncommented command in 
the /etc/rc.local file (located at beginning of the line, otherwise substituse 
^exit by something like ^[ TABexit] where TAB is a "real" tab.
sudo cp -p /etc/rc.local /etc/rc.local_beforesound
sudo grep -v "^exit 0" /etc/rc.local_beforesound > /etc/rc.local
echo "/usr/local/sbin/hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x01 SET_GPIO_MASK 3
/usr/local/sbin/hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x01 SET_GPIO_DIRECTION 1
/usr/local/sbin/hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x01 SET_GPIO_DATA 1
exit 0" >> /etc/rc.local
shutdown -r now

After the reboot the sound magically is there!

Thx again for Mandriva who wrote the hda-verb and for the people in bug
report 82988, especially Mark Rijckenberg who pointed to the existence
of this software by pointing to a similar bug at the opensuse-forum.
