I believe I am responding to the person with the acer aspire with a nvidia card in it running 9.04. This worked for some folks over at ubuntuforums.org. I think they had Realtek cards.

The following may work anyway, and can be undone by merely opening the file again and deleting the lines added if not. They are easily found due to being at the end.

Reboot after each change to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Run the following command in Terminal

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Add these 2 lines to the end of the alsa-base.conf file:

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=auto

If those alsa-base.conf options don't work:

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspi

On my sony vaio I needed the last line to be

options snd-hda-intel model=sony-assamd

OSS:
Error while instalizing the sound driver:

device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such file or directory)

The sound server will continue, using the null output devise

ALSA:
Error while instalizing the sound driver:

devise: default can't be opened for playback (no such file or directory)

The sound server will continue using the null output device.

as i said before, i've looked all over the forums but haven't been able to find anything. here is my entire lsmod output incase you need it.
