Can you provide more system info please? Use the alsa-info-script to provide detailed information.
Run this command in a terminal:

wget http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh -O alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh

Choose the upload option and provide a link for the output.

hey lidex,
recently i added the maverick partner repository (for a different reason) and that caused a few updates including some alsa stuff. right now the sound is working. i do have a feeling that it will break again. if it does i will run the command you told me to but for now i'm gonna leave it as it is (never change a working system). thanks anyway.

there we go: briefly fired up windows (didn't even do much, just wanted to test something), rebooted to ubuntu and sound is broken again. reinstalling alsa-base and linux-alsa-driver-module-... didn't help either. i ran the command and the result is here:

i'd really appreciate your help!

Try changing the position fix parameter you added to alsa-base.conf to:

probe_mask=1

The value of 0 you have for position fix is actually default behavior anyway.

good news, the sound is working again. at the moment it seems like i just have to turn off the laptop after using windows (rebooting doesn't do it). after turning it off and on the sound works. it's really strange behaviour. thanks to both of you for the help.

Hi, I've some problem with sound in my asus n52da. Everything was fine 'till yesterday, but today I've got sound only from output (headphones), but internal speakers don't work. my system info
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=8e...eb9c17b58bff69

Speakers ALTEC

Edit

Strange, it works again. Yesterday evening, before I went to bed speakers doesn't work, but today it is ok. No updates, no soft installation, just turning on the computer.

doesn't work today :/

For you I suggest removing edits from alsa-base.conf

snd-hda-intel: model=auto position_fix=0
snd-hda-intel: model=eeepc-p901

and re-installing alsa. Using a Terminal="Applications->Accessories->Terminal"

sudo aptitude --purge reinstall linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils linux-image-`uname -r` linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` libasound2

Reboot.

So after trying all of the pertinent solutions from the first page, without any results, I scrolled through the subsequent posts and noticed that one user reccomended that I try shutting down my computer in windows and then starting it again in ubuntu, and voila--the sound suddenly worked. Because the methadology was anything but scientific, I'm not sure which of the solutions was responsible--but I do know that it has to be one of the first posts, and that it will only work once you have manually rebooted FROM windows. The sound has worked continuously since then, even though I've been using both Windows and Ubuntu on this computer, and have not needed to shut down windows (as opposed to hitting "restart") since the first time. It's really strange, but it did the trick. Thanks to all.
