Sounds like driver problems... If your hardware model is the ACER 3810tz you should look in to mannually re-installing your drivers directly from ACER... or a repair disk. NOTE: Only use drivers specific to your model, or ones that you are sure will cope with your system.

I've looked into the certified Realtek drivers for your model. Your driver is:
ALC269
The driver is not Ubuntu-friendly.
Try running the command "alsamixer" and setting all the channels to maximum volume.
