I don't know how relevant this is but I'll include it.
1) I did a fresh install on the nb205 using UNR Karmic. No sound.
2) netbook-launcher kept crashing after an update so I switched to desktop mode.
3) I tested Manoj's quirk patch on his custom kernel and I had sound
(as noted above)
4) Manoj's patch landed in the kernel with an alsa patch from Takashi
(alsa) and it doesn't work now (and I suspect it's the alsa patch
which fixes the HP Mini's sound).
5) Today I have sound on the headset jack but not the built-in
speakers. My built-in mic also works.
