I recall this same issue. Check to see if pulseaudio is running. Mine is 
working and I can only see pulse running that seems to be the only thing 
running related to sound. My preview is working fine.

And as a test, I killall'd pulseaudio and now my sound preview fails. I 
suspect that's the puppy.
