Hi folks, I got it working but I'm not sure exactly how I did it (luck of the beginner one might think). I found a piece of info on some forum saying to enter the commands below from the CLI:
sudo apt-get install module-assistant sudo m-a update sudo m-a prepare sudo m-a a-i alsa I am very sorry but in the ordeal of copy+paste notes on possible workarounds I can't find the original author to give him the credit he deserves (that's not me anyway). I copy+pasted these entries in this order and after restarting it worked. I ran a couple of other scripts before (among the others the one signalled by Jairo Serrano before in this topic) but none of them seemed to work, however I don't exclude that in my disordinate tweaking I might have touched something else without noticing so I am not really sure. I just know that now I have a working sound. Please let me know if I shall upload any log for your pleasure to look into some mess :).
