I have already posted this bug with Ubuntu, but they recommended posting it
upstream as well. The following is the report submitted to Ubuntu's Launchpad.
here is the link to the downstream bug report:

After formatting my Feisty installation to install the Gusty Tribe 4, sound no
longer works on my machine. My sound card is detected, however, the "wave"
device itself does not show up in the mixer or the Sound preferences window.
I'm using an ASUS P5WD2, which is an Intel 82801G (ICH7 Family) AC'97 Audio
Controller. I tried the steps defined in SoundTroubleShooting
(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting), which has you purge
the linux-sound-base and alsa, then reinstall. This has not worked for me.
Pressing the Test button in Sound Preferences brings up this message:

audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample !
gconfaudiosink: Internal GStreamer error: state change failed. Please file a
bug at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GStreamer.

At first, this seemed to be inline with Bug #129511, but that turned out to be
user error. The only applications I have installed besides those provided with
the standard desktop install is XGL (with proprietary ATI drivers enabled) to
run Compiz Fusion, but I don't remember hearing any sound before installing
XGL, so I don't XGL is the issue. I did run gconf-editor once to put icons on
my desktop and I noticed a few errors in the terminal window that said
something about "esd not found".

I don't know if this is helpful, but the is the output of "aplay -l":
