Hi James,

I don't know if this solves your problem but it may point you in the correct
direction. Under system -> preferences (or administration, not sure) you'll
find a menu entry called "sound". You should go through those options, make
sure you've selected the correct channels. Look for options you may need.

Once done, open up a terminal and type "alsa-mixer". This opens up the alsa
mixer. You can set it up with the arrow keys, the spacebar and the tab key.

Hope others have better advice to you,

Bas
