Description
Many users (including myself) are suffering from lack of sound due to the hda-intel driver, the bug is commonly found on Acer Aspire laptops as well as other laptops. So far there are no definite fixes and someone really needs to jump in and take a look at it.

I have a Dell Latitude D820, and I haven't had problems with the hda-intel driver since Feisty.

Sometimes it's a matter of adding one line in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.
I had to use this:
options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=toshiba
to make it work. It was very hard to find this solution, and so I agree it should be fixed.

How about making a proper bug report where it belongs...

There are already proper bug reports for this. I don't believe there is a way to vote for those bugs in Launchpad though.
Everything being discussed on brainstorm is a bug, even the feature requests. All brainstorm is is a different type of bug reporting system. More user-friendly, the addition of voting, and quite a bit less formal. But it's still a bug reporting system.
I'm glad the OP made this request. I've had plenty of problems with Ubuntu and snd-hda-intel myself. I've had none of those problems with Fedora. Fixing the snd-hda-intel issues for good would make my Ubuntu experience a lot better.

I'd also like to add Toshiba laptops on there... I just got a brand new Portege M700 and I have yet to get my sound to work, and I tried virtually every fix I found for this soundcard... its an intel hda (ICH8 family) card, and nothing from adding the backport linux modules (which upgrade alsa), to editing my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base file, so yeah, I'd really like to see this problem got fixed, its a shame that I have to boot up vista just for the sake of a youtube video...

I'm on a LG P1 Express notebook, and I tell ya, it's been iffy with recording since Feisty (and I'm on Hardy now). My recording works if I'm lucky, and stops working after restarting my system.
Like, I thought that the driver simply probes a hardware codec on the sound card and goes with it's capabilities, but it doesn't seem like everything is mapped-out. I have been dealing with this for almost a year and almost considered using my Windows XP back-up disks to get back to Windows. Glad I didn't, but please, ALSA Team, I was on the edge, and there could be others that were (or still are).
I really, really want to stay inside of Linux, but more importantly, I want my hardware to work well. I can't just wait; I want to do Linux training screencasts on youtube; I need the capability to record my voice to do it.
I'm not trying to whine; I'm trying to express how much I feel this fix is necessary.
ALSA does great work; don't get me wrong. reverse-engineering a massive amount of audio cards, I can't even begin to comprehend how hard that must be. I am thankful for how functional my audio card is, but we are reliant on more knowledge from ALSA. Knowledge they are capable executing as practical into improved drivers.
I'm not trying be politically correct; I don't believe in that. I am trying to be realistic in what they have given back, and what we still need, while being polite.

Switching from ALSA to OSS4 'fixes' hda-intel most of the time. (OSS4 is NOT OSS3 that was 'replaced' by ALSA)
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=780961&highlight=oss4
But, be very careful! Getting ALSA back is hard - And OSS4 works very bad with media keys, and the sound applet, and a lot of other stuff. But then again, better then no sound? But be prepared to lose all your media keys.

I own an Asus P5B-VM motherboard with an "Analog SoundMax HD" integrated sound card but I have no sound under Ubuntu.
The motherboard features the "AD1889A" chipset and it's not supported by ALSA :-(
I also tried the fix that jannone typed in his message but that did not solve the problem.
I guess I have to wait a bit for my sound card chip to be supported by ALSA.
So +1

Edit to previous post :
It seems the module was already loaded and the card supported. I managed to make it work with this command :
sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset && sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
Still +1 anyway :-)
