This is a bit of a wild-guess; but check the permissions of
'/dev/audio' - on my system that file is in the group audio and has
group read/write permissions.
Try cat /dev/urandom > /dev/audio as a user with such perms and see if
you get random noise. If so, your sound card is configured properly,
afaik.
Your normal user needs to be in group audio.
# adduser sean audio
You need to work from a fresh login (e.g. log out of your terminal
and/or X, log in again) in order for the new group to take effect.
