I looked it up on a different thread in this forum and the solution, if you're on Windows 7 is to...
1. Go to the "Speaker" icon in the task bar at the bottom of your screen. Right click on it and select...

4. "Advanced" tab at the top and in the "Default Format" section, you select "16 bit 48000 Hz (DVD quality).
5. Press Play to test it if you like.
Go back to Resolve and import, then play a file and voila, it'll play audio.
I had my settings at 41000 Hz, which is why it didn't play back.
Resolve is set at 48000 Hz.
Problem solved.
Hope it works for you.
Interesting. I have no sound and unfortunately the audio interface I'm using doesn't support 48000 Hz, only 44100 Hz. But with previous Resolve versions (12-14) this wasn't an issue. Also, if you open a 48000 Hz in vlc or audacity, you can actually hear the sound, so my guess is these apps (as well as previous Resolve versions) have some kind of on the fly sample rate converter.
I'm on linux, so it's good news that system audio is supported now, but it's bad news that only 48000 Hz sample rate is supported.
I still have to find out how to work with audio because for some reason I can't get sound out of my DeckLink Mini Monitor either, but that's a different story. The audio is there, because if I render and playback the file in vlc, you can actually hear the audio.
Anyway, will keep investigating.
