Hi;
About two days ago I upgraded from Ubutnu 8.10 to Ubuntu 9.04.
In the process I lost all audio. I don't know much about the guts of
Linux so any help I can get to get audio back would be greatly
appreciated.
Here is a part of my output that looks audio related from the lspci
command:

Then I tried these commands, but it didn't help get audio back. I rebooted.

Again, I don't know much about linux, but I am will to try things to get
the sound working.
