If the sound drivers loaded without complaining, then it's
likely just an issue with mixer settings.  For example if
you are using ALSA, then output is muted by default and you
should run alsamixer.

If you are not using ALSA then perhaps you should, depending
on the hardware.  I have generally had better luck with it
than with OSS.
