No Sound

[Robert Goodermote]

I have checked. Ubuntu does recognize that I have a sound card and
typing "alsamixer" in the terminal shows that all of the sliders are
not muted. I updated from 7.10. Yes. Now I am using the latest version
of Hardy.
As for the model of Emachine. I have no clue. All it says on the thing
is "Emachines" no model number or anything.
As for the codes. In order as you listed

As for that alsamixer user thing, you mind explaining that a little
bit more in detail?
I am a semi-experienced user...but still clueless.
