Same here. No one's an idiot for missing some of those obscure function
settings with even more obscure names, once in awhile. It happens, which
is exactly why I suggested covering the simple basics like that first.
I don't know if others have the same problem I do but every time I
look at alsamixer I don't have a clue whether something is muted or
not. I generally have to hit 'm' a few times to refresh my memory of
which way it is set.
Something about the visual design of that app doesn't automatically
trigger for me.

Well for me, the trick in alsamixer is to look at the bottom of each
'bar graph' and see if it has 'MM' in it instead of the infinity symbol.
I am pretty sure that's a standard set of symbols for that. The 'MM'
is for muted' and the infinity symbol is for unmuted.
