Hello Peter,
      Like you I am also a recent convert to Ubuntu. I was using
Fedora Core 2 prior to that. And I also have the same problem in
getting my sound card working in Ubuntu. I had configured it
succesfully in Fedora and was working very well. But my Ubuntu
experience w.r.t sound card is really not nice.

I think Sound configuration is one area where  Ubuntu has scope for
improvement.  In all other ways, it is a truly wonderful distro.
