Well, assuming you are running alsa modules to run your hardware, then you can use alsaconf (found in the alsa-utils package) to configure the sound levels of your sound card. If you are not using alsa modules you can just get any other mixer (KDE should have one) and fiddle around with the settings in there.
If this does not help then tell us what lsmod gives out because somtimes the OSS drivers get loaded along with the alsa drivers and then the sound doesnt work.
