I'd just like to say that sound works perfectly find for me now, in Gutsy, on my Dell Inspiron 1300, after little more than a simple upgrade.

I finally worked up the nerve to try upgrading to Gutsy again - something I haven't wanted to attempt since sound didn't work for me with the Gutsy RC. After upgrading from Feisty, my speakers worked without any fiddling! It took me 10 minutes to get my external mic working - I had to turn up all the capture levels in alsamixer, which defaulted to 0. That got capture working, but anytime I tried to record my voice, the playback sounded like I made the recording standing outside in a high wind. I eventually realized that holding the mic at arm's length produces crystal clear audio capture! Skype works! The capture quality is MUCH clearer and louder than I ever had with Feisty.

As I haven't seen anyone else with an Inspiron 1300 complaining about Gutsy sound, I think I'll take my model off the list.

Thanks to everyone who's been working on this issue!
