Public bug reported: Since I have upgraded my Ubuntu from 11.10 to 12.04, my soundcard (see below) is recognised by my system but it plays no sound after a startup. I need to manually execute 'sudo alsa force-reload' in order to get a functioning soundcard. When executed, the terminal output shows me:
