The SB Live! mixer is an absolute bitch to figure out. You're very likely
having mixer issues.
I still have an old something saved somewhere in KDE that restores the mixer
settings for my old soundcard (functionally similar to the on-board audio you
replaced.) When I or any of my other users log in, the "IEC958 Optical Raw
Playback" gets turned on, and I get no sound out of the thing until I turn it
back off.
I've used KMix, Kamix, alsamixer, gnome-alsamixer and I can't control this
stupid thing consistently with any of them. The only mixer I've found that
works for letting me jiggle all the right buttons and sliders is QAMix/KAMix,
which is not part of Debian.
I've got a package going that should probably install on a recent Sarge or
Sid. I still haven't worked out why it has no icon. You have to click on
the empty spot in the system tray to get to the thing. It installs with the
binary renamed "kqamix" to avoid confusion with Kamix (which is entirely
different.)
Anyway, it might be worth trying it. If somebody else is actually using this
I'll take another crack at hacking it to get the icon working. (Also let me
know if it doesn't work. I had to write my own install script for it from
scratch, and I made some mistakes. I think the current one works, but my
system isn't virgin anymore, so it's not a fair test.)

Or ask and I'll throw up the debianized sources.
