Re: I am not abke to hear anything

I am also new to Kubuntu, but a few weeks ago when this same thing happened to me, I checked the "Mixer" and made sure that things were activated properly. Right click on the volume icon in the taskbar(?) and click "show mixer window".

On the "Output" tab check all your volume sliders, one or more of them might be turned all the way down. While you're at it, check the "Switches" and "Input" tabs and make sure that what needs to be checked and turned on...is turned on. By default many of these options are NOT on or are turned all the way down....in any case, it won't hurt to take a quick look. If this is not the problem, post again, there's a lot of helpful people around here with a lot more knowledge on this than I. Hope this helped you out some.
