Is sound muted? Which sound modules are installed?
$ lsmod | grep ^snd

Hi Anton. I notice that the "soundcore" module doesn't show on your lsmod,
which it does on my Lenny install, but with a different soundcard. does your
full lsmod show the "soundcore" module installed?
What do you get if you run.
cat /proc/asound/cards
Is your soundcard listed as card0?
Just another thought. Are you as user listed as a user for the audio group
in /etc/group?
Try alsamixer on the CLI as user. Perhaps there are controls muted. the M key
unmutes them. Perhaps sliders just need to be pushed up a bit. It's usual for
alsamixer to set things at a low level, to protect your speakers, and ears.
I have just built a new machine which has a MCP61 southbridge, but don't have
Lenny installed on it yet, and anyway the mobo is using snd-hda-intel. Sounds
work ok, and the nearest to Lenny that is installed, is Kubuntu Gutsy Gibbon
at the moment.
The latest kernel on my Lenny install is 2.6.21-2-686, but I did see some
problems on the alsa-devel list with either 2.6.24, or 2.6.25 kernels, and
MCP51, MCP61, and some other (sorry I've dumped the post). it will be in the
alsa-devel archives though.
All I can think of at the moment.
Nigel.

First make sure you have the needed alsa packages installed. That should
be alsa-utils and alsa-base.

Andrei

it seems your sound card is the same as mine, my solution is:
#apt-get install libesd-alsa0
#alsaconf, follow the default settings
now we can listen to music by Applications->Sound & Video-> RhythmBox
Music Player or Movie Player

Hello, Ron Johnson & Nigel Henry & Andrei Popescu & Star Liu. Thank you
very much for sound that has begun to work yet.
I have include myself to 'audio' group, install 'alsa-utils' package
(with dependencies and recommends) (while configuring them in Debconf, I
select ALSA system). Then I ran 'alsamixer' where unmute sound. After it
sound began to work.
P.S. I decided not to configure ALSA with 'alsaconf' because I have not
very old kernel. Please, correct me if I have done something bad.

If it works, you didn't do anything bad. Congratulations!
