I had also problems with sound output, and all of them came from the strange 
setting of my alsa sound driver. They set all mixer channels to muted, and 
you have turn them all on.
You are not using alsa, but did you check your channels are not muted? (video 
uses the Line or Video channel whilst other programs usually use the Pcm 
channel)
