Just a follow up to this for anyone with the same issue.

This is a very new desktop system using an ASUS mainboard with built on sound.
I've never had sound working properly and have re-installed many times.

I have been trying for a while to get sound working, but have had no luck so far.

I have a relatively new Intel "Ultrabook", the HP Envy Spectre XT. It has the IDT 92HD99 sound card. Support for this was added to ALSA 1.0.25 based on this changelog:
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php?title=Changes_v1.0.24_v1.0.25...
However the ALSA driver version in Ubuntu 12.04 is 1.0.24. Can someone explain how to update the ALSA driver to 1.0.25?
