Could you run in a terminal the following commands and post their output ?
First command :
lspci -nn

Second command :
grep Codec /proc/asound/card0/codec#*

Could you also try to update the alsa driver (if you are running Ubuntu Gutsy aka 7.10) ?
You just have to run in a terminal the following command :
sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-generic
And then reboot.

Keep me posted.

So your sound card is a Analog Devices AD1986A.
It seems it will need some manual tweaking to work.

In a terminal, run this command to edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
and search the following line :
options snd-hda-intel
And modifiy it (or add it) so that it looks like :
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack
Then reboot and test if sound works.

If it doesn't work, repeat the preceding procedure with "model=laptop", "model=laptop-eapd", "model=laptop-automute" and "model=ultra"

Thank you very much Fred. I added the options snd-hda-intel model=3stack to the file and rebooted the system.
It works perfectly.

matzi,fernando:
Your sound card is a Conexant CX20551 (Waikiki).
Update alsa drivers by doing in a terminal :
sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-generic
Reboot and if sound still doesn't work, try this :
In a terminal, run this command to edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
and search the following line :
options snd-hda-intel
And modifiy it (or add it) so that it looks like :
options snd-hda-intel model=laptop
Then reboot and test if sound works.

If it doesn't work, repeat the preceding procedure with "model=laptop-hp", "model=laptop-eapd".

I don't know if it will work or not...
If it doesn't, you will have to wait for the next Ubuntu version (Hardy) due out in April. It contains a more recent version of alsa drivers.
