We previously loaded Ubuntu 10.04 on our Q7 intel platform + custom hardware that uses the Intel HDA sound card. Sound worked well.
We changed to 12.04 yesterday and have output (speaker) sound, but no "line" input sound. Interestingly, alsamixer is now missing the control labeled "digital" under 10.04. There is a new SPDIF control present in 12.04 but it has neither mute nor sliders; It's just there.
Another interesting tidbit, if it helps, the sound test built into the sound control will play "Left front", but not "right front", even though the stereo outputs are connected together and tied to one speaker.
I have already done a alsactl init followed by a reboot.
Here is the current output of amixer.
