I don't think this is atheros related. I have the same problems. No sound at all. But on my system everything looks OK. The intel8x0 driver is loaded and the devices are shown in alsamixer, amarok, etc. The playing starts, the channels are not muted, but I don't here anything. I did an upgrade from edgy yesterday. There everything worked OK.
I also have a thinkpad t43p-2668(-4NG). dmesg output attached. Let me know, if you need further information. ** Attachment added: "dmesg output" http://librarian.launchpad.net/5856810/dmesg-thinkpad-t43p-feisty.txt -- No sound on thinkpad T43p in feisty https://launchpad.net/bugs/78299 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
