OK, you called the problem, audio doesn't work
Q? doesn't work how, what have you attempted, what status/results did you get..

Are you running any conflicting software, such as firestarter (it conflicts with pulseaudo)

Your link, post 9

• --which card exactly

You may have to install inxi utility..
In a terminal, check

• inxi -F
  --OS detected devices
  inxi -A
  --OS detected audio devices
  lspci |grep audio
  --another way of looking for audio device
  dmesg
  --just not any errors pertaining to audio

Ubuntu pulseaudio..

I really don't know how to trouble shoot this.Thanks for the help

Try disabling the onboard sound in the BIOS, (card-1) save and reboot . . .

On board audio is already disabled.i can only hope it's going to be that easy.I been looking around and see a lot of posts.I have only see one that says he has intermittent sound but that is an old thread.
