Hi Thomas:

I use xfce within YDL 6.2 on my G4 choose Settings --> Settings
Manager; then choose Sound which brings up the Volume Mixer.  If you
are using e17 or something else still look for the Volume Mixer within
the available menus

Once it is open you'll notice various switches make sure that the
appropriate ones are midrange or higher.  Make sure that the option for
PC Speaker is selected otherwise sound output may be going elsewhere.
Sound should be immediately available after these changes.  Also check
to make sure that your Input is Line not Mic.

All the best...
