Have already tried alsamixer with no luck. Where to from here?
Is the card detected properly? aplay -l should show you which audio devices are found. Alsamixer (or its command line equivalent, amixer) are often the solution, but the correct control to change isn't always obvious - it wasn't obvious on my Lenovo laptop - a friend with similar hardware logged in over ssh and managed to get it to work. You mentioned using Ubuntu, which runs Pulse Audio by default. This complicates the audio configuration substantially. If you need to modify volume settings in Pulse Audio, pactl appears to be the relevant command (and whatever desktop environment is running presumably has appropriate controls as well).
