My Ubuntu 12.10 system on Lenovo Ideacenter Q180 sees only the HDMI soundcard, but not the onboard one. How can I fix this?

lshw output:

It turns out the Audio is handled by the video driver. The fglrx video driver has to be installed. How this is done was answered in another question. In my case I actually installed "fglrx-experimental-9" package, because even now when sound was working youtube videos were not fluent.

Finally, to get everything working really smothly as a media center pc I recommend installing XBMC.
