You need to do a few things to determine why you are not getting sound from your speakers.
What sound chip ( or card ) do you have? Open a konsole and run the command as root 'lspci' and look for your sound card information. It may not show up there if is onboard, and not connected to the PCI bus. All command are without the quotes. Next find out if you have a KLM loaded (KLM-kernel loadable module). In windoze you call it a driver. Once again, as root run the comand 'lsmod grep | snd' Post the results of the commands. If you have a loaded module, then you may only need to open a mixer and make sure the volume is turned up, and not muted. Quote:

I have had this happen before when the alsamixer volume was turned all of the way down.
Try running alsamixer from console and make sure the volumes are turned up and not muted. Joe |
