jumping in the middle here so excuse me if I restate what has already been done. 1. check the blindingly obvious -- speakers plugged in? to both the wall and machine, if appropriate, and to the right output on the sound card? are you sure there is not some stupid thing like: the rear jacks only work when their are front jacks connected, or when you set this jumper (had that happen once, took me days to figure out, stupid design). 2. does sound work in some "other" os? 3. what output do you get running a command line player like aplay, alsaplayer or mplayer from the cli?
