I am only guessing here and my comment(s) may be totally inappropriate 
to your situation.

I had a hassle getting sound in my installation of Lucid. I fiddled 
about and did 2 things: firstly I ensured that I was part of the AUDIO 
group as a user. Secondly, I clicked on the Loudspeaker icon in the 
(?)TaskPanel, selected Sound Preferences>Hardware and, by trial and 
error, chose the correct Sound Profile for the sound card. I then 
rebooted the system. Which of these was the correct one I fiddled I 
don't know but I then got sound. Oh, also make sure that nothing is muted.
