Your audio device appears to have been assigned the correct drivers. Is there a particular problem with sound?

yes i have the problem with sound. but i couldn't identify what's the problem. i couldn't play any of the mp3 files or any video files and i didn't get any default sounds too.

If under "System > Preferences > Sound" you click "Test" do you get a signal?

For mp3 support, run 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras'. Then what?

Arun,

whatever Johannes is said is more or less whats required for you to get your sound right.If your sound still doesnt play, you should try installed libmpeg-fff from synaptic.
