System > Preferences > Sound: the first four entries should be ALSA.

Hope it helps.

Peter,
I tried that, nothing. By the way if I click on test should i wait for the window to close itself or clicking Ok doesn't terminate the test?

If you cli8ck the test vutton it should sound. And you have to close the test window.

The fifth entry in System > Preferences > Sound is Intel 82801DB-IVH4 (alsa mixer).

Hope it helps.
