Have you checked your system's sound mixers? If you are running KDE 
instead of Gnome, sometimes the sound mixers will be off or working 
against each other. I seem to notice this problem more with SB Live! 
cards. This really has also been more of a problem with Mandrake 
systems, where KDE is the preferred DE, but still is worth a look at.

HTH,
