Maybe I could narrow it down?

Is this a Dell and did it have sound before the last kernel update?
I guess there were two weren't there, but the second one didn't fix
it either did it?

Yes, it is a Dell Inspiron 1525 and sound still isn't working. I've
installed all the updates up to today's.

Okay then, your problem is the modem, look here

Modem_Does_Not_Work

On the first instruction instead of 2.5.24-17 use your current kernel.
If you did the updates it should be 2.5.24-19 and use the instructions
for having 8.04 already installed. Then after you download the modem
driver, in your terminal, BEFORE you do the sudo command, you need to cd
into the directory where ever you downloaded the file. You should now
have your sound back! I started trying to fix this last Friday
afternoon. Didn't work on it over the weekend for obvious reasons.
Thought I'd tackle it again today and got it working this morning.

Does this really make sense. This is Hardy as installed from the Ubuntu
disks, not something from Dell. Everything worked under Hardy, with the
possible exception of the modem, since I didn't ever try it. I never
installed any modem drivers on this laptop.
