this worked for me

Well I checked several places .. and the following worked for me :

Refer section 2.8

or

just reconfigure PCM level in AlsaMixer. By default on installation it was set to 635 way over the max limit of 100. I guess that was causing the sound to distort. As soon as I got it within 100, everything was fine.

Thanks for reminding me of alsamixer. I was wondering why I didn't have any sound. Checked alsamixer: the pcm level was set at 0. The most useful question, I find, when troubleshooting is "Is it turned on?" Trouble is, I keep forgetting to ask it.
