The first suggestion would be to run;

/usr/sbin/lspci -v |grep -i audio

which should return the audio chipset found, as follows;

00:06.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio 
(rev a2)

making sure the system detects the soundcard.  If onboard sound, ensure 
it's enabled in the BIOS, if a PCI card ensure it's seated correctly and 
that lspci detects the soundcard.

then maybe;

lsmod |grep -i snd

and see what sound modules are loaded.  After that, try;

cat /proc/asound/cards and make sure your card shows up;

cat /proc/asound/cards
  0 [NVidia         ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
                       HDA NVidia at 0xfbef0000 irq 22

and maybe try the Ubuntu "Comprehensive Sound Problem solutions guide" 
on the Ubuntu forums;
