Well, if midi works your sound system must be somewhat 
functional.

Check volume controls using whatever mixer you have
to be sure the channels are not muted.

What software do you attempt tp play sounds with?

Many (most?) sony laptops do not have the analog
sound output from the cdrom connected to the
motherboard, so you have to use a digital
cdaudio input.

With something like xmms that means disabling 
cdaudio and enabling libreadcd (I think that's the name)
for the input mod.
