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.
