ummm, not too sure, but use a mixer application like aumix and turn up the 
volume (software wise) . If you have a dell system, those volume control 
buttons on your laptop won't work.  You can do the following ...

apt-get update &&
apt-get install aumix

if you want your normal user (NOT root) to be able to listen to sound, add 
him/her/it to the audio group

addgroup USER_NAME audio

(do the above as root)

hope that helps
