Which version of Ubuntu is it?

The latest version of Ubuntu seems to support a decent range of cards.  
I'd say if after updating so you have all the latest packages (sudo 
apt-get upgrade) then try updating Alsa and your Kernel.

I had issues with Kubuntu on a Dell OptiPlex GX620 with Intel HD Audio.  
I thought it wasn't detecting the card and got as far as recompiling the 
kernel and then realised that the card was muted! (although I still 
can't seem to enable 4 speaker output on it).
