I had same problem too and I searched google. You must init pulseaudio.

Hello. I am still relatively new to backtrack. Been with it since 4R1, but just don't have the time to devote to learning it as I would like. However, my tip would be to type in "alsamixer". that brings up the volume controls and it could be that your sound is just down. Looking at what your posted it seems as if your card is installed...but I could be wrong.
