The first thing to check is if Ubuntu even sees your sound card. If you run 'alsamixer' in a terminal, do you get a mixer program or an error?

So then Ubuntu isn't even seeing your sound card. Do you know what sound card you have?

No I don't know the sound card, but it was having another problem, had to shut down two times,and reboot, suddenlt, sound is back to normal.
Thanks for your replies and help

I have exactly the same problem on Debian Lenny. Except that my problem is not solved with rebooting. Nor my system seems to recognize that I have sound cards. What should I do?
