3.2.0-27 is working with sound! Sorry for the noise about my package management problems. I would consider this fixed.
Read this if you're curious what happened with my upgrade: Somehow during my testing of various kernel ppas, I ended up with the "linux-image" package getting removed (even though 3.2.0-24 specific kernel image was installed). So it was not updating linux-image automatically to newer versions, since it was technically not installed. I was able to see this when I searched in Synaptic Package Manager for for "linux-image", and 3.2.0-27 did in fact appear there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1013183 Title: [IDT and STAC codecs] Sound playback stopped working in 3.2.0-25 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1013183/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
