One of my problems was that the snd-atiixp-modem was loading with the snd-atiixp and crowding it out. I don't understand the nitty gritty of this totally, but it appears that the modem and sound card are on the same chip and they don't co-exist very well with Alsa. So, my solution was to blacklist the modem so that it simply doesn't enter into the mix. I don't use the modem anyway.
To do this, open up terminal.
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
at bottom of list, type...
#get rid of snd-atiixp-modem
blacklist snd-atiixp-modem
then save.
However, I also had to do the following little tweak, excerpted from the following webpage....
"My notebook is possibly the most Linux-incompatible machine that's ever been made. Here's a tip: Don't buy an Asus A6R. It's one of the worst notebooks I've ever owned.
Sound didn't work straight off. The notebook has an IXP SB400 AC'97 Audio Controller, according to Ubuntu's Device Manager. If you've got the same sound card, and want to get it working, you need to do two things.
(1) Double-click the speaker icon in Ubuntu's system tray and click Edit -> Preferences in the Volume Control window that appears. In the list, look for the Master Surround entry, and put a checkbox in it. Then look for External Amplifier and put a check in it. Click the Close button then click the Switches tab in the Volume Control window. Remove the check against External Amplifier.
(2) Then click the Playback tab and click the Speaker icon beneath the Master Surround slider, so that it's no longer muted. Then adjust the slider. Playback some audio and you should find everything now works. Basically, the Master Surround slider is now your volume slider. Weird, but true. To make the system tray applet use the Master Surround to control the volume, right-click the system tray speaker icon, select Preferences, and select Master Surround in the list. "
And so now I have sound. I hope it helps you as well.
按照上面提供的方法，终于有声音了。把声音弄出来过程感觉非常痛苦，但成功却非常兴奋，已经很久没有这样兴奋过了。有了声音，但我们在多媒体下使用的文件几乎都不能播放，可能是因为专利和版权的问题。需要下载安装新的播放器，解码器。安装了一个mplayer，可惜只能使用命令打开文件，没有GUI，痛苦。Qq也没装好，以后再慢慢弄吧。
