The first is hardware and module matching, which it sounds like you've done succesfully. The second is usually a sound server if you're running X - GNOME uses ESD, and KDE uses Arts. Try ps ax to see if either is running. The other is permissions - make sure your user is in group audio. Then, either try to play a sound file from within an app, or cat /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Window_UnSticky.wav > /dev/dsp . According to devices.txt from the kernel source, /dev/dsp is digital audio, while /dev/audio is Sun-compatible digital audio - don't know if both coexist on a normal Debian install, but /dev/dsp has always worked for me.
