I run MINT Linux not Ubuntu.
I tested my sound like this:

Anywho, I used alsamixer to turn everything way up. But, no luck..

If anyone has points I'd love to hear from you. Also I can open a SSH or Remote Desktop system so you can just take control and try...

Any advice/tips/docs or thigns to check..?

Thanks

Robin

Do you also have pulse audio installed? If so, remove it and try to reinstall ALSA.

Turned out I just messed something up with the settings.
Still havnt mangerd tog et the Input to work though.

(fixed: /etc/init.d/alsa<something> reset 0)
