Thanks a lot for your reply,   Unfortunately, that is not working. Have found a bug in the Kernel (from another email here) that behaves in a similar way. Maybe having the same issue (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58351).   Also, I think it is an Alsa issue. I disabled PulseAudio and the audio is still not working through Alsa.

I am the submitter of that kernel bug. I am having Intel sound card and the problem only happened after upgrading to 3.9 kernel. That problem is in fact initialization failure for Conexant codec. Does your sound card use Conexant codec, too? You may get everything needed for troubleshooting by looking at [1] for alsa-info.sh scripts. Run it with --no-upload. If your sound works in 3.8 kernel, run it in both 3.8 and 3.9 kernel. That is useful if you really decide to submit a bug report or just wonder whether your problem is the same as mine. Hope to get your problem solved. Note: [1]: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Help_To_Debug_Intel_HDA#Reporting...
