Public bug reported: I installed Ubuntu Daily (20/2/2012) and I am experiencing issues with the sound.
Specifically, I cannot record audio, neither from the internal microphone, nor from the red input jack. pavucontrol does not recognise any audio input from the card. Alsa does not recognised the HDA codec: [ 12.564311] hda_codec: CX20590: BIOS auto-probing. (Analog audio playback is OK; did not try HDMI output yet) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: alsa-base 1.0.25+dfsg-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-17.26-generic 3.2.6 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-17-generic x86_64 AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
