There are (very) longstanding issues with pulseaudio and ice1712 cards
: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/178442
(workarounds included).

If lspci /lsmod (etc) shows that your card is at all alive, I would
agree with the suggestion to try the puredyne live cd/dvd (pulseaudio
not included), or to just try the famous 'cure all ubuntu sound
issues' workaround, which is to kill/uninstall pulseaudio.
