Normally I don't connect speakers to a PC, so my experience with sound is limited. Now I have one which I'll be using for video file editing, so sound needs to work reliably, but does not in 12.1, 12.3 & 13.1m3. It does work in Mageia 3/KDE4 (but only after reconfiguration after adding previously uninstalled pulseaudio), KDE/Fedora 18 & 19 (with pulseaudio installed), and 12.2 running Trinity instead of KDE, and without pulseaudio installed.
You don't really need pulseaudio but if you do want it (because it is supposed to give you simultaneous access to more than one device [or so I am informed]) then you need to install pavucontrol which you use to configure your devices. But before even using pacucontrol you need to install alsamixer (in Yast its inside another package) and then in a terminal run 'alsamixer' - use F6 to select which sound device you are using [onboard sound or card0 then use F5 to show all the channels available; having something playing (even though you not hear anything) then use the 'm' key to activate/deactivate the channels. There will be a combination of these channels which you open which will produce your sound. Oh, using the up/down arrow while on a channel will increase/decreas its volume.
