So, to simplify everything, here's what you need to do to get your
headphones working:
I recommend you follow the steps from Shang Wu's post above, linked

You could use the patch_via.c that I uploaded, but I think the

Well, gaining back sound after the update makes sense, as there was a
new kernel update pushed out over the last few days, so when you
installed the updates it overwrote all of the previous work, like I
warned might happen in my previous post.
Now, as for the whole no sound thing, that is a good-i
In order to compile the alsa driver you'll need to install the build-
essential package first.
I just tried the directions on my everex gbook va1500v (which I
understand to be almost identical to the nc1502) and I can report that

I ran a diff between the 1.0.14 alsa-driver folder from via-linux-
audiopackV1.5.tar.gz and from a 1.0.14 which i download from alsa-

/alsa-driver". Then I created a symbolic link to
"/lib/modules/2.6
Ok, I went back and recompiled some things to find out just what does
and doesn't work. Turns out that if only I'd removed the modules from
the /ubuntu/sound directory the solution from
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=556217 would have worked just
fine.
Looking over the patch_via.c files
@Shang Wu
I just went and removed all my kernel modules, checked to make sure the
relevant /lib/modules directory was empty, then reinstalled them. Just
making the link won't fix anything, and would severely break the audio,
as by default there are only two files in the kernel/sound directory,
