lspci says it all. ATI/Realtek are known problematic vendors as far as linux is concerned but they are fast improving.
Ensure that you have the alsa-utils package installed for sound.
Try running the alsaconf command to reconfigure the sound system as root. (I know its a bad script but it works most of the time though with ATI around I dont know).
Ensure that your sound system is enabled. See if sound works after running the alsaconf script.
