I recently took an old Dell with Windows XP and installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I completely erased XP in favor of Ubuntu. I noticed on a youtube video it won't play any sound. Then I realized it won't play sound at all. Anything I can do to fix this?

Open a Terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T and type the following command:
sudo rm -rf /home/YourUsername/.pulse
or
sudo rm -rf /home/YourUsername/.config/pulse
Be careful to check where is the pulse
directory in your home
folder. This will remove the PulseAudio configuration files. And then restart your system using:
sudo reboot
I had this problem a time ago and this solved my issue. I see that there are many other users who solved the issue this way, because I made some searches over the Internet.
