I have seen this problem when the alsamixer settings have become messed up. Seems like there are one or 2 processes that occasionally write to the alsamixer config file.
You can alter the settings by running the graphical program /usr/bin/ alsamixer from the terminal. There is also a command line program / usr/sbin/alsactl but being late at night I can't remember the syntax off hand.
