Ubuntu is great. I just installed 12.04 Yesturday myself
I can probably help you out.
First, install hwinfo. This will allow you to easily get hardware info then copy past it her.
sudo apt-get install hwinfo
then type
sudo hwinfo -sound
That will just get all info about your installed sound devices/cards
Copy paste the results here.
I have an Asus G51VX laptop, and when I just did a fresh install I had sound problems as well. Everything worked except my headphones. When I would plug them in they wouldn't work, but my speakers would mute as well. I had to insert one line into alsa-base.conf to fix.
Anyways, If I know your exact audio chip I should be able to help you out. It's probably more of a problem with gstreamer. It has replaced pulseaudio a lot for almost all audio and video playback in 12.04.

But I just decided to use the Windows version under WINE. It works fine, and *better*. I get a menu shortcuts, the intro video, etc, which I don't get in the Linux version. And of course, sound works.
Hey Khaosdvorak, mind helping me out? Hwinfo sound didn't give me any info it said "oops: don't know what to do with "audio" but I think I got info from just running hwinfo.

Hrm. Very strange.
Are you running Ubuntu? If it's skipping the intro video then you might need to go into Ubuntu Software Center and install "Ubuntu Restricted Extras".
That installs all video and audio codecs, and updates java and flash as well as installs some windows fonts.
Must have if you don't already. If it won't work after that I would recommend upgrading to 12.04 LTS. It just came out on thursday, I just did a clean install to it.
Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING that I could do in windows I can do in 12.04.

I recently had the same problem and just found a solution. I asked the same problem on lemmasoft and it was suggested to me to make sure the package ia32-libs was installed. Once I installed this package all of my games started working. The post I mentioned is here:
I'm here for verification.
I running Debian 7.2 Wheezy and I had the same problem.
There was no sound at all in the game and the intro was missing.
I installed the ia32-libs package and everything is working now.
Big thanks guys for the help.
