Hi All
Thanks C Ulrich, Ill give that a try - I have checked where the speakers
are plugged in, all is good, I even tried the others just in case - can

The fact that your card shows up in /dev/sndstat and xmms doesn't
complain is a good sign.
Install a mixer program and check that none of the channels are muted or
turned all the way down. Also check that your speakers are plugged into
the speaker jack rather than the mic jack (etc).
