Converting to bottom post and trimmed.

Investigate the settings you see when you execute  the command  
"alsamixer".  Type in a "?"  for the help page.    Un-mute or set the 
levels higher and see if that allows you hear any sound.

...oh, and just in case,....make certain the volume on your speakers is 
turned up.
