Sdrberry needs an external USB audio device to function correctly as a transceiver. To check the status of the audio devices you can use aplay. The build in headphone adapter or an output only audio card will also work, but the transmit functionality is then switched off. (Also for wsjtx).

pi@pi2:~ $ aplay -l
