Sound lost on uprgrading ubuntu 8.04-solved

After I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04, I lost sound on my comp.
When I checked with kernel options like

$lspci
$lshw -c sound

every thing seemed to be fine, but still I wasn't able to hear any sound.
Then just tried this command

$alsamixer

and increased all the values to maximum. Then

Bingo! here comes the music

Ps: caution with those values as making those high gives an ugly squeak in your speakers.

All thanks to ubuntu forums for the support.

That is how you solve linux problems, just ask on the support forums :)
