Good, now you launch XMMS

Click right button over XMMS
Options-> Preferences -> Audio I/O Plugins Tab -> Output Plugin
Perhaps it say OSS, but you must select or change to ALSA

Click Apply and click OK.

TEST: Play something audio file.

Also, you can do a simple test with XMMS. This should generate a tone:
Play Location -> tone://2000

If even the problem persist. Please, write to Xterminal this command:
lsmod
And post the result.
Also you say the chipset of your sound card.

I'm not sure if alsa is loaded correctly, anyway that information is important to find the problem.
Is easy know if alsa, at least was loaded.
Do in Xterminal command:

alsamixer.

If fail alsa even is not.
If run, remember unmute audio channels how i explained before.

Better test to sound with a audio file (.wav or .mp3) from your hard disk because a drive must be mounted (Mount Tool) before play a file from it.

Note the before i post other message.
I believe the chipset of your sound card perhaps is: Cirrus Logic CS4237B

The suitable Alsa driver is: snd-cs4236
ALSA driver documentation here:
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-do....=cs4236

If all above is correct, is evident even that alsa driver is not loaded because lsmod print nothing like to: snd-cs4236

Then, do this commands sequence in Xterminal:

sudo su

update-modules

modprobe snd-cs4236

If you can do that without errors the ALSA driver was loaded.
Remember unmute audio channels with alsamixer and test play a sound with XMMS.
