Hi! Hmm, I think the problem is that your alsa channels are *muted* by default and you need a suitable mixer application to change the volume... there also seems to be a mixer setup problem at my machine here *g*, but at least I can use the kde mixer, when oss mixer emulation is loaded (module snd-mixer-oss). Maybe you could try alsamixer from alsa-utils, I think it's even got a little "GUI". Note that you'll also need the snd-pcm-oss module if you want to use programs which need the old oss sound system.
