OK, what soundcard?
Are you using ALSA?
Does alsamixer (or whatever) show anything at full volume (including
recording levels) - for now make sure nothing is above 80%.
Are the cable connections clean? Plug and unplug them a few times to try
and ensure good electrical contact.
Does a source recorded elsewhere (a known good mp3) play back cleanly?
(in which case it's a recording/sampling issue)
or not (in which case it's at least a playback, maybe both issue)
