Complete idiot with no sound

[NozirohLacitrev]

I was told how Ubuntu is "the God of the OS's" so I decided to dual boot it with my XP, everything went great and I got it.
The only problem I have is that sound doesn't work.
Now I understand there are 1000s of posts like these on here but none of the solutions on the countless threads I've seen work, either they don't work or I have no idea what they're talking about because I am completely useless when it comes to programming, so please help out a complete idiot by making what you say as mind numbingly simple as possible.
I will provide ANY information needed to help.

look for your sound card here and follow the guide.

PS; use

lspci -v

to find out your chipset.

My card is an Intel ICH7, now what guide do you speak of?

[Truedream]

here

there are two different ICH7's listed. click on the details next to the right one.

It says I already have those drivers, also that tut is inexplicably hard to follow.

[Truedream]

Open up a terminal and type;

sudo apt-get install libasound2 alsa-utils alsa-oss

once that is done type:

alsamixer

see if you get a screen like this one.

I have that menu just not that many controls, only two.

[Truedream]

well that means you've drivers installed. go to preferences ---> sound and select different drivers from drop down menu and test. keep the ones that works. hope that helps.

PS: make sure volume is not muted

[NozirohLacitrev]

None of them work. :\

[Truedream]

can you post the screenshot of "alsamixer" just like I did?
