Comment 42 for bug 519066

@David, I removed all previous versions of what could have been blocking the install as John is experiencing.

It then install fine.

modinfo outputs:

dpgk -S snd-hda-codec.ko outputs:

linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic: /lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-codec.ko

So it is definitely there but I don't know why the module is not using it.

You get the problem that John i having if you installed back ports.
