Public bug reported: MB is EVGA with onboard NVidia sound and hdmi output that precluded sound when used HDMI connection in Hardy, Intrepid and Karmic. Current HDMI connection via ATI All-in-Wonder HD card. Both audio devices show in lscpi (below) and asoundconf list, but not in aplay -l or -L (which both have many lines about unexpected end of file, asoundrc being old or corrupt, hook error etc). No devices listed under Lucid's System/Preferences/Sound. Contents of etc/asound.conf just list pulse. This is a dual boot machine and sound does work in the Vista boot.
