Hi there, Please check if your sound drivers have loaded successfully. If you have root access then do a cat /dev/dsp from root. You should see a flow of weird chars. If it says device not found then your sound modules haven't loaded up. If it works fine as root then there's a permission problem probably.
Hope this helps.
