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.

at the moment i have the 2.4 kernel ...
i use kde ....but i login from gnome and choose kde
beacuse this seems to be the only way to do that...the onnly way i can start kde ( don't know why)
there is no sound in root nor anywhere else.
