Mythdora Upgrade 0.22 - no sound and no device

After following the guide posted by pisani:

http://www.mythdora.com/?q=node/5029

I upgraded the box to 0.22 as per the post - all successful, except for some localised oddities (Apple trailers gone, gmythmovies breaks Infocentre), but the biggie is that I currently have no sound.
In fact I have no sound outside MythTV currently

I have a Gigabyte E7AUM-DS2H , and have successfully had sound over HDMI working in 0.21, as per the Digital HowTo

Currently I have tried disabling the onboard sound and leaving HDMI sound set to Auto' in BIOS, but this has made no difference
The output of aplay -l with onboard disabled, and HDMI Audio set to 'Auto:

device_list:223: no soundcards found...

with onboard enabled and HDMI Audio set to 'Auto':

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: ALC883 Analog [ALC883 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 1: ALC883 Digital [ALC883 Digital]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

..which does not include the IEC958 entries I had before

nvidia-180.60-1
kernel-2.6.27.38
alsa 1.0.21 (1.0.17 actually)

Could there be a module missing? Or a version difference?

In the archives, Jarod mentions something regarding using a kernel from updates-testing, but I know that's going to involve a boatload of kmod dependency issues, so I'd rather not introduce new issues if possible

thanks for any help

What do you see in alsamixer? Have you enabled those outputs there? I
would assume the update would not have changed your bios settings or I would
suggest looking there as well.

The IEC958 is completely MIA, and neither have the BIOS settings changed.

I'm at a loss here, and wondering wether there are kernel or nvidia issues

cheers - your help is appreciated

Did you ever resolve this issue? I just upgraded mythbuntu, and I
have the same gigabyte mainboard, and my audio disappeared. I never
used HDMI, so in that way we vary. Best tidbit of info that I've
found is that when I rmmod/insmod the snd_hda_intel driver, I get this
out of my dmesg:

[403357.232645] HDA Intel 0000:00:08.0: PCI INT A disabled
[403397.057863] HDA Intel 0000:00:08.0: PCI INT A -> Link[AAZA] -> GSI
21 (level, low) -> IRQ 21
[403397.057898] HDA Intel 0000:00:08.0: setting latency timer to 64
[403397.612012] hda_codec: Unknown model for ALC889A, trying
auto-probe from BIOS...
[403397.628105] input: HDA Digital PCBeep as
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.0/input/input7
[404279.540847] HDA Intel 0000:00:08.0: PCI INT A disabled

So far the search for the "Unknown model" line yielded one reference,
but no solutions.

I am attaching the output of the 'alsa-info' script, since it may
contain other useful tidbits.

Cheers,

ben
