Public bug reported: I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 on an FS Esprimo Mobile U9200 laptop that was completely muted by the kernel update from 3.2.0-10 to 3.2.0-11 last week. Using grub, I'm able to test between three installed kernel versions (3.2.0-10, -11 & -12), and pinpoint that audio works only on the earliest of those.
I've attached a screenshot of my System Settings > Sound > Output tab which displayed a "Built-in audio Analog Stereo" entry on 3.2.0-10 but now says "Dummy Output". I've also copied below the output of two commands mentioned on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting in case they are of any use. janne@esprimo:~$ sudo aplay -l [sudo] password for janne: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** janne@esprimo:~$ janne@esprimo:~$ lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio" 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) Subsystem: Fujitsu Technology Solutions Device 110f Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 47 Memory at fc400000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: linux-image-3.2.0-12-generic 3.2.0-12.21 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-12.21-generic 3.2.2 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-12-generic x86_64 AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
