Mark Rijckenberg proposed the following answer:
If you still do not hear sound after removing the Creative X-fi audio
card, please try this procedure:

1. copy-paste the following command into the Terminal:

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

2. and add these lines to the end of the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
file:

# Keep snd-pcsp from being loaded as first soundcard
options snd-pcsp index=-2
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-3stack
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1

3. Then navigate to System>Preferences>Sound and change everything to
ALSA

4. copy-paste the following command into the Terminal:

gksudo gedit /etc/group

5. replace the following line (or something very similar to it):

audio:x:29:pulse

with this line:

audio:x:29:alexander,pulse

6. reboot and retest sound

7. In the Mixer control panel, make sure to unmute all channels and
increase the volume on all channels

8. If the dell-3stack alsa-base.conf option does not work, please try
one of the following model options, reboot your pc and retest sound:

  STAC9227/9228/9229/927x
   ref Reference board
   ref-no-jd Reference board without HP/Mic jack detection
   3stack D965 3stack
   5stack D965 5stack + SPDIF
   dell-3stack Dell Dimension E520
   dell-bios Fixes with Dell BIOS setup

9. Also try connecting the external speakers to a different audio port
on the sound card and retest sound

Regards,

Mark
