Which kernel are you using?  The latest kernel, 2.6.24-17 seems to have a 
problem with sound and on my laptop the wireless connection although I could 
get that to work.  If I want sound for watching a DVD for instance I have to 
hit Esc in grub, (very early in the boot sequence) and choose the previous 
kernel, 2.6.24-16 instead.  You didn't say what hardware you were using but 
mine is intel duo-core on a new Dell laptop.
