>From your diagnostics, the sound card seems to be detected okay,
as far as I see it.

Things worth checking are the mixer settings, such as:

	% mixer pcm 100
	% mixer vol 100

which will turn PCM and master volume to 100:100. For checking,
it's usually the most comfortable way to play some media file,
instead of a "plain file" into /dev/dsp.

The play command from the port / package sox or mpg123 / madplay
for mp3 files work well, as does mplayer.

Have a look at where /dev/dsp points to, it should be the dsp0
device.

I don't have furtther experiences with the hda stuff, so these
would be my basic ideas.
