    Thanks for the great questions. Here's what I've learned:

Could you reply with the following:

1. The output of the command:
        cat /proc/asound/cards



2. The output of the command
        lspci -v

3. What version of Ubuntu/Edubuntu did you install?

Hi,

would I be right in guessing that this is a relatively new
computer,
possibly an IBM/Lenovo one, possibly a Thinkpad T60?  Am I
way off the mark
here?
	http://www
.pc.ibm.com/ww/thinkpad/x-t.html

It seems possible the PCI IDs database doesn't have an entry
for this sound
card in edubuntu 6.06 so hotplug is failing to autodetect
it.

If the computer is indeed a thinkpad T60 series, then these
tutorials
should be relevant.

http://www.kraus.tk/installnotes/T60/ThinkPad-T60.htm
http://www.sbellon.de/
t60.html
http://thomasgersdorf.com/linux/
index.php/Gentoo_Linux_on_IBM_ThinkPad_T60#Sound

In particular, the last ones says:
  "It's important to enable modem-support in BIOS else
the hda-intel driver
   will complain and ALSA works not until the restart of
   /etc/init.d/alsasound"

They all seem to be suggesting that you need the
snd-hda-intel driver.  If
you run:
	lsmod | grep snd-hda-intel
you can check if that module is already loaded.  If it's
not, you could try
loading it with:
	sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel
and see does your sound card become available.

You might reboot and check the BIOS has modem support
enabled and/or try: 
	sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart

It appears from this that alsa is at least aware of the
sound card. It
suggests the system is already aware to use the
snd-hda-intel driver.

It would be interesting to see if edubuntu 6.10 makes any
difference.  You
could try the live cd just to check.  It has a more
up-to-date set of
pciids.

Looking at the up-to-date pciid database, you can see:
