Problem: No sound
Things to check:
--Did you change anything immediately before the problem started?
--Is sound enabled in OS? (Where do you check this?)
--Does the laptop have onboard sound or a separate sound card?
--Are speakers enabled? (Where do you check this?)
--Are drivers/software up-to-date? (Where do you check this?)
--Does another sound device work? (card, speakers)
Use foo to check the device. ((Foo = Ubuntu's equivalent of Windows Device Manager. Is this a legit step? Outline how to use foo to check this device.)
