    Open your console window and enter
    Code:
    lsb_release -a
    to find out your version.

    #6 in the FAQs in my signature link has a link to the Ubuntu sound troubleshooting guide, a very good resource to solve your problem.

      Dibl:
      Ty for your help. I don't understand what I'm looking for in instruction #3. I find no green hyperlink text. All such is Blue and I don't see anything that looks like what I'm seeking

      Instruction #2 produced this relevant text

      "00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)
      Subsystem: Dell Unknown device 019d

      I don't see any of that in the lists at instruction #3.

      Thanks,
      Nate

        Prolly you need to first check in your BIOS, and make sure the onboard sound chip is DISABLED.

          Hrm... all I get when I follow the link in that instruction is an Apache directory listing ("alsa-lib" being the only entry). The ALSA soundcard matrix has changed and is now in the ALSA wiki at http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main

            Hmmm -- yes, I see there has been some revision of the ALSA project links. Here where the soundcards are listed:
