Slug,
I forgot to add the following details:-
When I click Applications>Sound&Video>Volume Control this is the
setting
options I see in File>Change Devide:-
0. SiS S17012 (Alsa Mixer)
1. CA0106 (Alsa Mixer)
2. Realtek ALC655 rev0 (OSS Mixer)
Hope that this further information helps.

PS:- This is what I previously sent ...
I am a Linux newbie, and last night I installed Ubuntu on my
machine.
Hardware detection was excellent:- Graphics, sound etc.
After reading through the forums I updated the Nvidia drivers,
and also
the sound output
"SDL and OpenAL audio will default to OSS output, which may
cause audio
output issues
(http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16444). To
work around this, install the libsdl1.2debian-alsa package from
universe." Taken from
http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/releasenotes510#3.0
To my dismay when I started to play Think Tanks
(http://www.planetthinktanks.com/about-overview.asp) there was
no sound.
When I boot Ubuntu I have no problems with sound at all, I can
hear the
start-up music that comes default with Ubuntu.
This is the way I installed the program - these instructions
were given
to me via the forums (see above website by someone from the
states):-
"The first thing to do, for the sake of simplicity, would be to
move it
to your home folder. Then open yourself up a terminal. You can
likely
find it off the menu under accessories or utilities or some
such. Or,
there may be an icon on the taskbar. It varies by distro, but
the point
is to get a terminal open.
Once you have a terminal, you need to switch to superuser mode
so you
can install TT as root. To do this, type 'su' (without the
quotes) and
then type in your root password when prompted.
Once you've successfully become superuser, type 'ls'. This will
list the
files in the current directory. One of them should be your TT
installer.
This is the reason I had you drag the file to your home
directory. By
default, terminals normally open with your home folder as the
working
directory.
Once you're sure you're in the right directory, type 'sh', a
space, and
then the name of the installer. You would have something along
the lines
of 'sh ThinkTanks_v1.1.sh.bin'. Hit enter and the installer will
run.
That's it."
This is a summary of the hardware that I have:-
P4 3.2 Ghz 800MMH 2MBCache
1MB of RAM
Sound card - Creative - Sound Blaster Audigy 24bit-HD EAX
Advanced HD
7.1 (inclusive 5.1 and 6.1)
Gigabyte Motherboard P4 Titan - GA-8S661FXM-775 (SiS 661FX
chipset)
