Thanks for your question.

It's not that easy to answer, there could be a lot of reasons why it doesn't work. So we need more information. Could you please provide us the terminal output of:

cat /proc/asound/cards
lsmod | grep snd

If you've never used terminal before, you might find the screencast usefull: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8851055906542319438
