A lot of Linux sound problems turn out to be volume related. If your
system has a mixer package, fire it up and make sure the overall volume
is turned up. If you don't have a mixer package, get one. aumix is
klunky but it will do the job.

I was never able to fix this either. I fixed it by having dhcpcd started
