If you're using alsa then the sound channels are muted by default and
you need to turn them on. You can either do it by running gmix, or by
adding lines like
/usr/bin/amixer -q set Master on
/usr/bin/amixer -q set PCM on
/usr/bin/amixer -q set MIC on

/usr/bin/amixer -q set Master 20
/usr/bin/amixer -q set PCM 20
/usr/bin/amixer -q set MIC 20

to /etc/rc.d/rc.local (on RH at least).
