shanta, try installing the 'linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic' package and reboot. After reboot, be sure to double-check the mute status of the output devices in the audio mixer.

I am seeing same issue on i386 version.
WeatherGod's suggestion ineffective.
GNOME ALSA Mixer identifies chipset as sigmatel STAC9221 a2

cliffer, there are a variety of things that can cause problems with sound. Please file a bug report through the system test program so that we can see the special diagnostic information.

Moving this to the backports moduels package for organizational reasons.
