The sound card, a Voyetra something or other is recognized during boot up and I have a volume contral icon which I can adjust but I have no human sounding output from the speakers (a simplpe two speaker set) just a very loud squeal! The same speakers work fine on the a WinXP box.
I'd next try running "lspci" to see what it says about your chipset; then maybe run modconf to see if there's a better module match.
You might try upgrading kernels.I'd shut down X and try playing a tune with with something like "splay", to remove any sound daemon / X issues from the mix.
