In that case, you should use some kind of sample file from somewhere,

Kevin is right. You probably can find some short files at
/usr/share/sounds/alsa on your system.
I would first check the settings on alsamixer..turn ON everything and
turn everything UP. My laptop, for whatever reason, NEVER keeps saves
and restores its settings. I have to unmute the speaker and raise the
PCM level EVERY time I boot. My desktop and the mythbox do not have that
problem...Basic but an easily overlooked item. You *may* have set them
correctly, but you need to verify that they are still correct.
Next use aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav to see that you
actually have some output, outside of myth.
Then try mplayer to play a video file, or even an audio track. If you
really don't have anything to play you could rip one of your DVD's, to
create a file you can test with.
If those work, then it is clearly a myth settings problem and
notwithstanding your problems, should be relatively simple to fix since
there are only so many combinations of settings.

Can someone point me to where MythTV keeps its logs to help understand
what is going on here?
