I just got everything working using the Realtek drivers as Jose mentioned. I followed the steps just as they are in the Readme.txt bundled with the drivers. Here is what I did.
1) sudo apt-get install build-essential ncurses-dev gettext linux-headers-`uname -r` 2) Download the drivers and extract them 3) cd into the extracted directory 4) tar xjf alsa-driver-rt20070820.tar.bz2 5) cd alsa-driver-rt20070820 6) ./configure 7) make 8) sudo make install 9) sudo ./snddevices 10) sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base (pasted a few lines into the bottom of this file see *****'s below) 11) reboot your machine 12) You should hear the ubuntu drums when it starts back up. 13) Open the gnome mixer ()volume control icon in the panel). 14) Tick PCM, Front, Headphone, capture and input source (no I don't know if it has to be this ... I do know this worked though) 15) Under the recording tab make sure it is not muted and under options tab make sure input source is mic. DONE. I was able to play mp3s, and with headset plugged into the front I had muted speakers and headset worked on skype test call. That's enough functionality for me. ***** Put the below into the bottom of your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base file as described in step 10 above(from the Readme.txt). I used snd-hda-intel in place of snd-xxxx. The readme lists a few options you may have to try instead. ***** # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-xxxx # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is my config.
