First thing that comes to mind - the audio cable that is supposed to go
from the cd-rom/burner/DVD to your sound card. If it is there, try
reversing the cable at either end. 
Any chance the box dual-boots and you can test in WinBlows?
Just tested on my RedHat 7.2 install with SB Live!
Works like a charm.
Hope this helps.
