What hardware is it?

There are two possible problems here.

First of all, the computer may have two sets of audio hardware.
Pulseaudio only sends audio to the first one.  It may be
non-functioning or may not be the one that you are using.  This could
happen, for example, if your computer has built-in HDMI audio and
video along with a built-in three-jack audio device.  `prtconf -v |
grep sound' in a terminal window will show the audio devices.  I've
submitted Pulseaudio patches that allow you to select audio devices,
but so far they haven't been integrated into OI.

The second possible problem is simply that you may have the audio
volume set to zero or muted.  In that case, you won't hear any sound,
even though everything is working.  If the volume is set too low, but
not to zero, try `tput bel' in a terminal window.  If you even hear
a faint beep, it is working.
