Sound not working after reinstal to Feisty Fawn

Bug Description

Using a Toshiba Satellite A105. After being unable to upgrade from Edgy Eft to Feisty Fawn, I just reinstalled the whole OS from a new image. Everything in Feisty works fine except for sound (and out-of-the-box media compatibility, but that's another issue). Sound worked fine in Edgy, but I think losing sound in this update is a fair trade for Ubuntu not forgetting about my USB mouse. Still, I'd like sound back.

The volume control on the taskbar just shows an icon with a red cross-out blip over it. Volume Control > Open Volume Control gives a blank window, but the menu options still work. File > Change Device only shows "HDA ATI SB (Alsa mixer)". Edit > Preferences shows a check-box dialog with "Caller ID" and "Off-hook". Volume Control > Preferences doesn't return anything right now, though previously it popped a dialog that said it didn't know and that it was either GStreamer's or the driver's fault.

No, it is not a duplicate. My sound is not too quiet, it is completely nonexistent. Please reread my bug report.

Yes, it is a duplicate. Your issue is caused by the same precise missing bit of code. On different machines, this is manifested as different symptoms. Please do not assume that because your symptom is different that the root cause is different. Thanks.
