First the card - it might be that you have a digital/analog switch - dbl clk the volume icon - if there is a tab for switches check there for the analog/digital jack - disable it.

Secondly the installing problems - we need more information, when you try to install what happens. Try this from a terminal and psot the output

sudo apt-get install edubuntu-desktop

Can you help with this problem?
