I've played music with vlc, mplayer, mpg321, mpg123, xmms and audacious,
most recently with mplayer. Some programs (I think at least mpg321) require
you to install an audio library to work, like libao-*.

Did you turn up the volume? The volume with my old Soundblaster Live! is
always sky-high, but maybe not yours. Try mixer(8).


Cheers,
