 From command line, enter alsamixer. It should pop up and you are 
looking for muted channels. Hit F6 to chose the Intel device and you'll 
see vertical volume bars.  Each setting bar should display 00 just below 
each bar. If you see mm then that channel is muted and you want to hit 
the m key to un-mute it. I know ...primitive.

If you would rather use a nice gui then enter (as root user) apt-get 
install alsamixergui. I love pulse audio, but it sits on top of alsa, so 
if alsa if broken, pulse won't stand a chance. So, I'm betting 50 cents 
that says fixing the alsa settings will enable sound for you. Ric
