Worked great in hardy!

I tried everything, modifying the puleaudio config for the correct card, installing the latest alsa – nothing worked!

Finally, I followed the instructions here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound

That finally worked. What people say about oss seems true, the sound is very good.

Downside: Had to set many apps to use oss, and plain give up on others. See this page:
http://www.opensound.com/wiki/index.php/Configuring_Applications_for_OSSv4

Upside:
Only thing that worked!

Let me know if you get it working in alsa.

3. There are a lot of other potential workarounds for intel graphics issues (see the Ubuntu wiki), please report back which one works for your system… :-/

5. Pulseaudio complaining about not being a member of pulse-rt group is only a warning (it is *not* a requirement).
And IIRC there is a hack that unloads/reloads the HDA driver during the boot.

PS: as far as I know Dell only has (and pays for) 8.04 LTS support. They probably don’t want you to upgrade before 10.04 LTS…
