you are probably using alsa as a driver.
check /proc/asound for a card.
also the default for alsa is to mute things.
either run "alsamixer", you may need to be
root but i am guessing that since you are
in the audio group that would suffice.
or you can grab the gnome-alsamixer package
for a nice gui, and unmute things like
the "master", "pcm", "cdrom" channels.
