The channel faders up, both on alsamixer and the RH volume control
panel. The speakers do work on the evil side, and I was also trying
it with headphones, but I guess I won't do that anymore. aplay
didn't play any sound, but it indicated that the file was playing at
4410 hz in stereo and didn't give any error messages.
using: modprobe snd-intel8x0;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe
snd-mixer-oss;modprobe snd-seq-oss
I get this output from lsmod:

It
works fine
in XP, so I don't know what the problem would be.
are your channel faders up (not just unmuted) ? to make sure, xmms, then alsamixer and play with the settings
(preferably
*not* with
headphones :) - usually you need to raise at
least the master
AND "pcm"
or something like that.
how's the sound doing on the evil side (just to check your
speakers are
set up ok) ?
did you try aplay somefile.wav ? if this works, xmms is
probably using
the OSS output plugin, and you don't have the
compatibility
modules
running...
just guesses. you will probably have more luck on the alsa-user
mailing
list if this did not help you.
Also what modules do you have loaded?
lsmod
