I just installed a fresh copy of 2012.8 on my laptop, which is my production machine for my business. I produce audio for a living.
The old kernel works just fine, but the new kernel series (.bfs and .bfs.pae) give no audio. I've verified this by installing them all at the same time.
I have checked settings and there is nothing muted. All volumes are at maximum in the Mixer. This is what the hardware control center report on my audio hardware is:

I am running a Lenovo W520 laptop.
Is this the kernel itself, as it seems to me to be? If not, how to I go about enabling audio? I don't mind running the old kernel because it works, but the new kernel was much snappier.
Thanks in advance for the help ladies and gentlemen.
