On-board sound not working, even though it should.

Howdy. First post here. Looks like a nice place. Originally from motherboards.org/forums, pretty nice place as well. Back to the subject matter.
My MSI K7N2 DELTA2-LSR nForce2 Ultra400's onboard sound chip (Realtek ALC655) is not working. I have the proper drivers installed (the ones that came with the motherboard and I've also tried the newest ones on the internet as well as the ones directly from Realtek but no difference), all BIOS settings are correct, and I have flashed the BIOS to several versions, now settling on the newest Beta version for the board.
In Windows, sound appears to be playing, there are no conflicts, everything is running peachy, it's hooked up to analog speakers as it is an analog card and really, the only thing that is odd is that no sound is actually coming out of the ports. I have tried all 3 ports to produce output (by setting the soundcard as a 6 channel so that sound would go to the line-in and mic ports), but nothing. I have tried the motherboard's pins to see if the audio was disabled on the board, but no. I've tried using them through the front panel connector but it makes no difference. Nothing comes out. Yet Windows XP says it does.
This is a new install of a board and I'm starting to think it's defective. But are there any ideas on the matter?
Thank you.

First of all, welcome to PR.

Stupid question, but have you checked your audio volume settings? Have you tried a different set of speakers?

i looked on google for any known issues but came up empty handed.....

would it be enough if you used a PCI offboard sound card?
