No Sound In Hardy

Asked by Runa Lejeune

I installed Hardy Heron on my Dell Dimension 2400 and now I have no sound. My Volume Control applet in the upper right corner of my panel has a speaker with a red circle and a bar through it. When I right click "preferences" it says:

"No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.

I got "gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument" when I tried to play some music.

The output of my aplay -l command is:

aplay: device_list:205: no soundcards found...

and the output of my lspci -v command is:
