Any idea on what I should to to fix the sound?
The only thing i have change since installing ubuntu and all updates was to install VLC media player and Exaile however the sound was not working before I install that.
UPDATE: I found out the problem. It was this:
Diagnosis
In the volume control applet, PulseAudio lists a dummy/null sink.
Open a terminal and enter this command:
sudo fuser -v /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/* /dev/seq*
If you see something else than "pulseaudio" in the rightmost column, such as "slmodemd" or "timidity", you're affected.
Fix / Workaround
The workaround depends on what process you saw blocking the sound card.
slmodemd
The slmodemd is a daemon related to your modem, which is known to sometimes block audio. You can get rid of this problem permanently by doing one of these things:
* Uninstall the sl-modem-daemon package (if you don't use the modem).
*Use the PulseAudio package available in the Ubuntu audio dev PPA
* Upgrade to Lucid (if you know what it means to run a development version of Ubuntu).
I deactivated the modem driver and my sound worked.
Can someone please close this question?
