I managed to fix an intermediate fault I, and from reading the Ubuntu forums, a few others, were experiencing. The problem is that sometimes the sound would work sometimes it would not. I found I had two sound devices that kept swapping - I only have one card but it was detected twice and one didn't work.

By using alsaconf you can fix the problem.

Code:
asoundconf list

Will show you a list of available cards

Code:
asoundconf set-default-card CARD

Where CARD is the name of your card as is written in the listing from the first command. This command should tell ALSA the sound system which card to use resulting in sound. Why this happens I don't know, I can only assume it happens as a result of my slurry of messings around with Linux as the problem has happened before but only presents itself after a while.
