Hello there. This is a popular laptop so there is a lot of information available. The problem you are having can be solved by installing the "linux-backports-modules-generic" package, you can install this from Synaptic or at the terminal type: sudo aptitude install linux-backports-modules-generic

Install this package then reboot and your sound should be working, make sure to check the volume control after rebooting and add "Front" speaker to check it is not muted.

Method G is listed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller which is what i have explained for you.

Hope this helps.
