Can you tell us if you hear anything with this command in shell:

speaker-test -c2 -Ddefault -twav

Hit CTRL+C to end test when desired.

Check out alsamixer in a konsole window and see if your card isn't mute. This has happened to me many times, where everything is fine but I 've to unmute mixer channels...

Well make sure the non-root user you add is a member of the sound group.  The guide also says to run alsamixer as the master volume is muted by default, although I haven't had any such experience.

Thanks you so much Guy, I fix the problem by reading the wiki page. I need to disable one of the output in order for the sound to work.
