Which Distro are you using, because on my Dell which is new. I have to
do this once it up to get sound working.

rcalsasound restart (sorry I am using openSUSE)

So, what I recommend first to do a search on  your laptop and your
distro and see if there is an issue with sound card and that distro.
Like me with my Dell 17" laptop.

Also, I being hearing that Pulse is a issue and a lot people disable,
so look to see if you are using it.

Hope that helps.
