I have recently installed xubuntu onto a pretty old laptop. A Dell Latitude D520. So far it has been OK, I had some issues with the network earlier, but now its solved. The issue I have no is the sound. I play a game called vendetta online, and the sound works great in that. When i try to set volume or other things, there is no sound.

Here is my lspci:

I am not too worried to be without sound. But it would be fun to tinker with it. :D

Use the alsa-info-script to provide detailed information.
Run this command in a terminal:

wget http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh -O alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh
Choose the upload option and provide a link for the output.
[Terminal="Applications->Accessories->Terminal"]

Sorry to get back so late, here is the link to the details for my sound...

It does not show my processor, but on my laptop, it says "Celeron M"

I see you're using pulseaudio - thought that wasn't in xubuntu install. Try removing your pulse config files:
Using a Terminal="Applications->Accessories->Terminal"


rm -r ~/.pulse ~/.pulse-cookie

Reboot

Now these outputs please:

sudo fuser -v /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/* /dev/seq*

pkill pulseaudio; sleep 2; pulseaudio -vv
