You can play sound but not hear it? How do you know it is playing then?

Are you using alsa or oss? Or do you mean the onboard speaker?

You may need to run "alsamixer" and unmute the pc speaker volume. Once thats done, you will have to run "alsactl store" as root. I am not sure if its the right solution, but its worth a try.
