Ivan:
I did not see you mention anything at all about a mixer (volume control). It
might be simply turned down (by default). I don't know which GUI you are
using, or if you use a GUI at all. I would recommend 'apt-get install aumix'
simply because it works in console and GUI alike. Adjust the pcm, cd, and
main settings to the 3/4 mark and then try your cd/wav test. You *should*
have the play command if you installed sndconfig (I think I read that you
tried this utility).
To test a .wav file, use the 'play' command: play blahblah.wav
If you get an error, then you need to find the module. If no error, we
probably need to dig a little further. To locate *any* wav file, try the
command 'locate *.wav' then use the mouse to highlight the complete path to
the .wav file, then paste that (click both mouse keys at same time in x, or
right click if your in console mode) after the 'play' command.
'modconf' is great in my opinion. It let's you add these mods easily.
If none of this works, please post back.
