I don't know if this will be of any help, but it may.

I originally installed Lucid Beta2 and then kept upgrading it until I 
had the final release of 10.04.

The sound (with Soundblaster) was working perfectly.

Today, however, I decided that I will install 10.04 as a new install, 
completely from scratch.

I had no sound. Alsamixer was installed but it was not behaving as it 
normally does.

I spent around 30 minutes stuffing around trying to work out why I had 
no sound - and then it "hit me": 10.04 by default installed Pulse Audio!

Got rid of all Pulse Audio rubbish and got my sound back.
