For edification (as I decided to muck around a bit, and not upg to Intrepid):
>From testing all day, and using what I have learnt in forums, I have discerned the following: Ppl using Hardy 2.6.24 -12 or 14 were able to use alsa's 1.0.17 full release or rc1 drivers with Intel 80281H ICH8 audio with success, either from simple KMix settings, update of alsa, or by editing modprobe.d /alsa-base to include 'options snd-hda-intel model=hp/lenovo/asus/auto' to solve most or all sound issues. Ppl using 2.6.24-19: while alsa may be update, lspci/lshw/modprobe/etc showed all relevant pieces (modules and so) installed, and dmesg provided nothing, malformed audio was achieved. The commonality for absolutely no sound, reading the forums, was folks on Asus systems, which points to Realtek ALC861VD being the culprit- doesn't work with alsa. When I realized this I abandoned alsa (and mercurial) for the lastest OSS 4.0.1016 drivers...work like a charm! So for anyone not goin to Ibex Alpha4, waiting impatiently for A5, or needing to rollback... you might look into this.
