What kernel are you running? What Desktop? for some reason debian gnome sets teh mixer to mute. Does sound work as root? Check permisions on the mixer in /dev and add your user to teh audio group.

I suggest getting the latest 2.6.x kernel it has also in there already among other goodies.

i use kde ....but i login from gnome and choose kde
