Sound not working in Ubuntu

Asked by oneton95

I'm a total newbie in Linux so pardon me if I sound stupid. I just installed ubuntu 9.10 on my pc, but I'm unable to have any sound. What I do know is that the computer is an "emachines T3882" Of course I went to their website and of course no drivers for linux, just for Windows. I'm guessing that it's a Realtek Soundcard because that was the name of the file it was downloading from their site.

Is there a way in which I could get my sound card to work in a linux environment? Like a generic sound driver to load? I have no idea how to load that into the program itself. I love how smooth and clean it runs real good with only 256 RAM in it as well. The sound thing is bugging me though and I'm not able to figure it out on my own.

Thanks to all who can help me out!
