Thank you very much. Merci beaucoup! It has been very useful for me. I am still keeping 9.04 and I needed this upgrade. After this upgrade I managed to make work my Genius USB headsets.

Thank you so very much for your detailed instructions.
We had problems on HP 4515s with Ubuntu 9.04, but with your help it works perfectly now!
After the driver installation I had to put in the code

sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart

as somebody has advised earlier. Thank you again. Take care.

This has fixed some things for me, but it has broken skype. I can no longer use the internal speaker of my laptop with skype.

Also, is there a way to store the volume settings so they are not set to mute for my internal audio and raging blast for my wireless headphones every time? It’s very bad for my ears (and my blood pressure).

I’ve tried to downgrade to the ubuntu version 1.0.20 by sudo aptitude reinstall alsa-base but the problems persist. Any recommended course of action?

Thanks!
