alsamixer is a great tool for this sort of troubleshooting.

I wasn't able to get my sound working with my SiS chipset.  I eventually 
just put in an old C-Media card we had lying around; works fine.

You need to run lspci and see what kind of sound chipset you are using.  
You should see output something like this:

[hughc at joss ~]$ lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 645xx (rev 51)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS AGP Port 
(virtual PCI-to-PCI bridge)
00:02.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS963 [MuTIOL 
Media IO] (rev 25)
00:02.1 SMBus: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS961/2 SMBus Controller
00:02.5 IDE interface: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 5513 [IDE]
00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 
AC'97 Sound Controller (rev a0)

etc.
