There's a set of slides I put together a couple months ago that lay out a 
setup & testing procedure. At some point these'll be put together into an 
AGDP document ...

The basic sequence is this:

Install hardware.
Perform basic Gentner setup (coarse level setting, set up presets per 
http://www.accessgrid.org/agdp/howto/config-gentner-ap400.html)
Set Gentner mic levels
Set output / speaker volume levels.
Test with rat and reflector
Test on-grid.

If you make it all the way through the calibration & setup steps, you 
should have little problem with actual AG use.

The tutorial slides are at

Regarding the problem you mention: Do you see levels in rat for incoming 
audio? If you bring up rat's Options window, go to Audio, and turn on the 
test tone, do you hear a tone? If not, check the Gentner level meter for 
the input the PC/MM100 output is connected to. If there's no level there, 
you probably have a cabling problem. If there is, check the routing and the 
cabling path to your speakers.
