<div>I don't have kmix (I'm running Gnome by default). Is there a Gnome equivalent? I can run alsamixer and all of the inputs seem to be unmuted in there.</div>

sound properites in the setup (Utilties/Setup -> Setup -> General
-> 3rd Screen). I had a similar problem and needed to set the audio output device to "ALSA:default" (it wasn't a given option, I had to type it in). On a different machine, I had to unmute one of the channels with alsamixer then kept trying to play sound and I eventually found the culprit, but that was a system wide sound outage...
