Hello.
All required modules show as loaded, but that doesn't always mean that the 
card has been detected.


Would you post the output from the following commands.

cat /proc/asound/version
cat /proc/asound/cards
grep ^Codec /proc/asound/card?/codec*

If the card exists as card0 in /proc/asound/cards, open alsamixer in a 
terminal as user, with the following command.

alsamixer -D hw:0

Check for any muted controls (M key toggles mute/unmute), and for any sliders 
that need pushing up. Master, PCM, Front, CD, are the obvious ones.

You could also go the link below, and save the script as, alsa-info.sh , make 
it executable (right click on the file, and in properties, permissions, check 
the executable box). then run the script as, ./alsa-info.sh , and post back 
the link to the site where data about your machine, and sound has been 
uploaded to.

All the best.
