How about filtering the output: lspci | grep -i audio

Then taking the pci is from output (xx:xx.x) see the type of driver used: lspci -vvs xx:xx.x

At the end you will get the driver used by kernel.

If possible, also post the "dmesg" output, but please, filter it: dmesg | grep -i snd

Just for the record, have you enabled the "front speackers" in alsa?...

Luck.

Open up a terminal and just type : alsamixer

Check your options and settings.

Then try pulseaudio --start or just pulseaudio or from the menu, in Sound..Try it.
