For one more time:=20
Are you sure dmesg does not show your sound card, even with a message "(dri=
ver not attached)" next to it??
or pciconf -lv showing something similar to: "none1@pci1:0:0:......."  
...........           and then something like:
class    =3D multimedia
subclass =3D audio

if yes you have to send the notebook back to them.
Your laptop is under warranty and they accepted it once already. They will =
do it again, since after their repair your sound card doesn't work.st
