It says the control is the latest version, ..I am getting audio via the 12.04

I tried all the jacks both via DVD and harddrive no sound but I can check via the GUI not muted, but if I use your command I get this

[sudo] password for gordon:

it has 4 jacks, the manual describes It has a 4 channel PCI sound card with AC97 3D Audio Effects

there colour coded but would that make a difference with me getting sound on one side, there were I checked green to green pink to pink

I can't get to it if I try applications directly it takes me to a different part of the sound app or if I try to get to it via the DVD it takes me to the magazine and articles I also tried cut N paste your command from the hard drive but no sound It dosen't see the memory stick from the DVD

Yes I select shutdown and restart and let it boot to the try 12.04 went to audio clicking each button and get a woman saying front left, front right

I can't use keyboard short cuts but it was on try booted from 12.04 it say's I have no tray for exiting would this have an effect on it

I'm not sure it's what you meant but I got to a sound test feature as I clicked each button I got a woman saying front left, front right

sorry I missed the top half of 22 but I'm a bit cofused as to what you mean, but I do have a driver installation disk it has linux files on

I run the command front centre but no sound

I didn't hear anything from that command what I usually do is play a web based video from the BBC, I just played a movie  but no sound from any

I did delete the last line but there is still no sound, sorry I read your comment wrong but there's no sound from the DVD

yes it will boot to a live CD

he is the last lines
# Ubuntu #62691, enable MPU for snd-cmipci
options snd-cmipci mpu_port=0x330 fm_port=0x388
# Keep snd-pcsp from being loaded as first soundcard
options snd-pcsp index=-2
# Keep snd-usb-audio from beeing loaded as first soundcard
options snd-usb-audio index=-2
options snd-hda-intel model=ref

could this be resposoniable

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

and remove the 5 lines at the end that read -

options snd-hda-intel model=ref

so the last 2 lines now read -

# Keep snd-usb-audio from beeing loaded as first soundcard
options snd-usb-audio index=-2

SAVE the file .. and exit gedit.
