Is this still a problem for you in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or 12.10? If you are not running a newer version of Ubuntu, I suggest you download the live images for both these versions and give them a try, and check to see if audio works for you. If sound works in a newer version, you may need to consider upgrading your system.
