First try disabling the Si3054 Modem using Jockey, previously known as Restricted Drivers Manager. It might interfere with your soundcard.

Your ALSA output shows the following muted channels:

 276. Simple ctrls : 3
 277. Simple mixer control 'IEC958',0
 278. Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined
 279. Playback channels: Mono
 280. Mono: Playback [off]
 281. Simple mixer control 'Caller ID',0
 282. Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined
 283. Playback channels: Mono
 284. Mono: Playback [off]
 285. Simple mixer control 'Off-hook',0
 286. Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined
 287. Playback channels: Mono
 288. Mono: Playback [off]

Try unmuting the following channels in gnome-alsamixer:

IEC958
Off-hook

Run the following commands in a Terminal to install gnome-alsamixer:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install gnome-alsamixer

After unmuting the different channels, please reboot and retest sound

Sorry, but I'm a bit new to computers in general, much more so to Ubuntu... when I opened the Hardware Drivers, there was no option to disable the Si3054 modem. Is there any other way to do so? Also, I unmuted IEC958 and off-hook and rebooted, but there is still no sound.

There is no fix for this bug yet:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/433189

So I suggest retesting sound during an Ubuntu 9.04 LiveCD session. If sound works in the Ubuntu 9.04 LiveCD session and does not work in an Ubuntu 9.10 LiveCD session, then there must be a regression/bug in the Ubuntu 9.10 kernel or ALSA drivers (for this audio chip).

Okay, I checked it in 9.04, and it wasn't working there either. I'm thinking it may be a hardware issue, and as it's still under warranty, I'll most likely ship it back to them and have them fix/replace it.

Hello
