In a terminal logged in as yourself, type "groups" to see what groups 
you're in.

What kernel are you using ("uname -a")?
What modules do you have loaded ("lsmod")?
What's the output of "lspci" in regard to your sound card?
Use a mixer program (kmix, amix, aumix, GnomeMixer, etc) to make sure 
your volume is not muted/too low.
Configure xmms to use the proper output in preferences (OSS, esound, 
alsa, etc).
