By default, Ubuntu uses ALSA to communicate with sound hardware and uses PulseAudio as a sound server. If you've followed the troubleshooting guide(s), and still don't have your audio working properly consider replacing ALSA with the OpenSound System (OSS). on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
