In the absence of any help or feedback I've downgraded from 8.10 to 8.04. That system recognized the sound card immediately, and everything worked just fine.

I don't know what should happen to it now. -- 8.10 not autodetecting my sound card https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/312601 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
