On my OLPC with SoS 2009-apr-1 sound does not work from Terminal activity either. I will redo it from the latest avaiable iso and see if that helps.

SoaS is not really meant to be run on the XO yet. It uses a stock Fedora kernel which does not fully support the XO hardware yet.

It works better on regular PC hardware and in emulators.

yeah, I just thought that if anything would have sound it would be Speak activity but it did not.
