Mel, I am sorry that the backports-modules did not work for you. It was more of a last resort than anything else. Also, the reason I mention unmuting devices is that if the backports-modules worked, then sometimes new devices appear in the mixer and are set to mute by default. That did not happen in your case.
I have talked to a sound developer about your issue. Your information about having a X-Fi sound card made your problem much more apparent. Linux presently does not support your X-Fi very well. This is for a variety of reasons, but is actively being worked on. There are a couple of things you could do at this point. I am not personally familiar with VMWare, but you *might* be able to mess around with the configurations so that VMWare presents a different (emulated) sound card to your Ubuntu guest. This way, Ubuntu thinks it is using a different, supported card. Another possibility involves getting your hands dirty, and helping Linux out. If you are able and willing, you could do some testing for the sound developers, trying out the cutting-edge versions of the drivers that are available for compiling. If you wish to go this route (not for the faint of heart!), let me know, and we can talk about it some more. -- The audio in my Ubuntu 9.10 doesn't work for anything on this computer.
