Oh, forgot to mention:

If you aren't sure about where the problem lies, turn up the volume in
alsamixer, then try running this command:

------------------------------------------
$ mplayer /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/sonar.ogg
------------------------------------------

(note that you may have to root):

------------------------------------------
$ su
# mplayer /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/sonar.ogg
------------------------------------------

If you don't hear anything, then I would debug the issue outside of GNURadio
to simplify the number of things involved.

Cheers,
Ben
