I had problems on my home PC ( an old shuttle ) when I enabled the on-board sound, but also used a PCI sound card for the 'all round' experience (the sound card failed and all I ended up with was the bass channel). It got confused, and when I disabled the sound in the bios, all then worked...
lspci sould tell you what hardware is installed - my lappie on ubuntu feisty tells me I've got an Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 family) High Definition Audio controller (rev 02) * My Sound->Preferences are all set to autodetect ( except capture which is ALSA ) and work fine: devices ffered are a HDA Intel (Alsa) and Realtek AL883 (OSS). I'm using the alsa one. I recommend that you check the physical device against the offerings in the sound preferences, and make sure that you're using the ALSA, not OSS offerings and see if that helps.
