Crimminy! I think you mentioned earlier that you have tried a live cd? 
No sound from there?? Have you made hand edits to the alsa files up in 
/etc?

 From a googling result some have remarked that the nVidia driver 
interferes somehow.

It might be worth a shot to disable your video driver, if you have 
nVidia and reboot to see if the problem persists. But, I would try the 
live CD thing again. Something has to give here. Unless your speaker 
jack thinks that something is plugged in, disabling your forward 
speakers, the darn thing should just work. Ric
