I've installed Ubuntu 7.10 beta version on one of my very old computers. Almost everything runs fine (including, surprisingly, Compiz), but for some reason the sound isn't working. It has an internal sound card that worked perfectly fine with 7.04, but right now I have the volume turned up to maximum with no result. I had a similar problem that was fixed by messing with the settings in "gnome-volume-control", but that seems to do nothing here. Any help would be appreciated.

Specs:
Intel Pentium 3 @ 450mhz
320mb RAM
40gb HDD
GeForce 4 MX440

Soundcard: Aureal Vortex AU8820 ALSA Control Device (PCI)

On a side note, the 7.10 beta is running more smoothly than 7.04 ever did, and this is with Compiz enabled on a computer with less than half the resources Vista needs. Linux is amazing (when everything works...).
