Try running alsamixer and be sure all the channels are at a proper height. Also channels that are to work should not be muted (that is have an MM at the bottom of the column.

I had problem with sound a while back. In system-config-soundcard click "System" and "Reload audio drivers" before trying sound test. If you get sound then you need to reload your sound driver after booting. My fix was to modify /etc/rc.local as follows: $ cat /etc/rc.local #!/bin/sh # # This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts. # You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't # want to do the full Sys V style init stuff. touch /var/lock/subsys/local modprobe -r snd-sbawe modprobe snd-sbawe Replace "snd-sbawe" with the appropriate module for your system.
