Vijaykumar,
   Hi. No one named 'sir' here. We're all just friends.

   The first step is to know what's in your system. Please post the output of 

lspci

and we'll look at the sound card or chip in your system. I.e.:

<SNIP>
0000:00:14.5 Multimedia audio controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP150
AC'97 Audio Controller
<SNIP>

You can also just try the program alsaconf (as root) and see if it
discovers the sound chip.

Good luck,
Mark
