Acer Aspire 6935G no sound

[frozen_zeus]

Hi all, I can't get the sound working on my new laptop. I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit, the sound card is shown below which I got from lspci -v

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio 
Controller (rev 03)
        Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device 0146
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 22
        Memory at db300000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: oss_hdaudio
        Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel

The sound card works in vista. I have checked the ALSA website and they do not appear to support ICH9 sound cards. I've tried a number of different methods using the ALSA drivers and I have also tried stopping ALSA and using OSS. I am hoping that if I put this on the forum either someone else will have a solution or someone that knows what they are doing will see this and maybe create a solution.

Many Thanks.

Assume it is similar to Thinkpad T400,

Unfortunately that site does not say anything about sound drivers or anything. Any other ideas?

I've got an 3690 and installed every thing as the guide said but still had the trouble.
I went to System>Preferances>sound and found it had changed the
Default mixer device.
I changed it back to the inbuild sound and it seams to work again.
Try changing between the sound card and pulse audio options to see if that works.

I just ordered my new 6935G today, and now I saw this thread,what happened? Have you fixed the problem? It looks like there will be a lot of work to do. BTW what's your impression about this notebook?

Try add

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1
options snd-hda-intel model=auto
options snd-hda-intel single_cmd=1

at the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
