Regarding Intel sound failing in Hardy:
During the beta-test process for Intrepid, the drivers for Intel sound
on my lappy broke *bigtime*. Weird errors, like when you plug
headphones in the sound would fade out over a period of about 10
seconds, and then vanish no matter what
speakers/headphone/port/plugged-in-or-not I was doing.
Drove me bonkers.
Everybody was blaming Pulseaudio when in fact it was the core ALSA
setup blown to hell and gone.
I finally ripped out the entire Pulse/ALSA stack and swapped in OSS4.1
and dayum if that didn't work pretty sweet. Incredibly detailed
mixer, clean sound, full app compatibility.
