That depends on the type of caps you're using. With most caps, a stripe will indicate the negative end, though some nonpolar caps will have them. Film caps don't care. If you soldered it backwards, as far as I understand capacitors, the sound should still go. Either way, you don't want to do it. The iPod to the lead without the stripe, from the striped lead to the jack. If you're still not getting any sound, you may want to check if the jack is grounded.
