Though this is a sufficiently often mentioned item in the FAQ and elsewhere -
did you unmute the mixer? Start up alsamixer and check if therequired output
channels have a "MM" at the top of the gauge (and don't forget there might
be more mixers than you see - scroll to the right, navigating with the
cursor keys to see all of them).
Just my 0,02faq,

I believe IRQ sharing is ok for certain PCI devices - it works fine for me:
franky_AT_tux:~> cat /proc/interrupts
