Are you perhaps running esd or artsd?  If I am not mistaken tux racer
tries accessing the sound device directly, so if anything else is
running on it, then you won't be able to have sound in tux racer.  You
could try pkill on esd or artsd, but be warned this will kill sound
for your desktop environment and many applications configured to use
those two.
