In the page I gave you there are two paragraphs intitled "manual sound information collection"and "automatic sound information collection".
Follow the instruction there (either of the two, the one you prefer) and please provide to us that information.

Please consider that for the time being all we know is that you have a problem, and that you have an ATI motherboard with an SB450 southbridge.

here what that web site said "Check the volume in alsamixer: that sound
is unmuted and that the volume is turned up

              * Unmute everything. Sometimes a muted channel will be the
                problem, even if the description doesn't seem
                immediately relevant.

              * Locating the volume controls:

                      * Ubuntu: these controls are not the "sound" in
                        preferences. Right click on panel; add to panel;
                        volume controls; speaker icon appears on panel;
                        left click on icon; preferences

                      * Ubuntu 7.04: sound volume is also accessible
                        from Menu->Sound&Video->Volume Control

                      * Kubuntu: Alt-F2: kmix <enter>.

      * Check that your switches are set correctly (for instance that if
        you use the analog output the analog switch is set ON or that
        the digital or S/PDIF switch is set OFF).

              * You can select which tracks/switches are visible in
                Volume Control (see above) under Edit->Preferences.

      * Most sound applications output to card0 by default. In some
        cases, other audio devices (like a USB MIDI Keyboard) might be
        recognized as a soundcard and take card0, bumping your real
        soundcard to card1. cat /proc/asound/cards to see which devices
        are connected to which cards.

      * Test different "Sound Servers": Go to System > Preferences >
        Multimedia Systems Selector. From there, you can test the
        different options. For me, there are four different sound
        servers installed, and only one works. This is probably your
        problem if you cannot play audio with xine or rhythmbox, but you
        can with xmms or helix/realplayer.

      * Make sure that all users needing access to the Sound Device are
        members of the audio group (System->Administration->Users and
        Groups)

      * If you application sounds works, but your system sounds does not
        (login, logout, error sounds...) try removing the .asoundrc*
        files from your own directory (e.g. with 'rm .asoundrc*'). It
        should make the system sounds work without a reboot.
        "

        and none of that worked any other ideas
        ??
