Hello again.
I was able to get my internal speakers working for my HP Pavilion Dv4
laptop by following the advice I found in the alsa-devel archives. That
advice seems to have worked for quit a few people who found it by a post
I made to the Ubuntu Forums.
But now, after I have upgraded my Ubuntu from version 8.10 (when sound
worked) to version 9.04, sound no longer works correctly. I have some
detailed information about the sequencing and the specific error.
Attached is an alsa-info.txt output.
Here's what I'm seeing (extracts from dmesg/kernel logs):

What is damned peculiar is that is has sometimes worked (as you can see
above). I can find no pattern however. I HAVE downloaded an compiled
the latest alsa-driver-snapshot. That last reboot has the same unable
to grab irq error.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
