In some cases uninstalling Pulse Audio Works, But you should try this first:
1. Open terminal
2. sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
3. Add to the end of the file:
options snd-hda-intel model=dell
4. Reboot and then go to the volume control and turned the speaker
volume up to maximum.
And You’re Done.
If it doesn’t work and you want to try to uninstall Pulse Audio Just open terminal and
sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio
You can also go and download The Original ubuntu 9.10 dell factory recovery iso

Thank you for this post! It worked great for me on a Dell Mini 10.
Please note the file to edit needs a ‘.conf’ at end, as in:
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
