Well I found out that by using pavucontrol in the configuration RS780 
Azalia controller under profile I turned it off and sound plays...That I 
do not get, but at anyrate it is now working...When I have a problem 
with sound I all ways do check alsamizer to see if there volume is up or 
not muted...

Thanks for the reply...
