I tried everything in this thread, but none of it worked on an Inspiron 1721. However, I was surprisingly able to fix my problems by removing the alsa package with:

sudo apt-get remove alsa

I think the problem (in my case) may be that Dell model numbers ending in a 1 (ie, 1721, 1521, 1421, as opposed to 1720, 1520, and 1420) are ATI/AMD based systems, but the ALSA package is mistaking installing drivers for Intel based systems. After removing alsa running:

lspci | grep udio

Now returns:

00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia

Also, running:

asoundconf list

Now returns:

SB

Before removing the alsa package, "asoundcond list" returned nothing.
