To be really sure ALSA is working, I suggest you try aplay. Notice that aplay is minimalistic, and does not support formats like vorbis (AFAIK). Feed a wav to it. Example: aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Right.wav Both aplay and /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Right.wav come from media-sound/alsa-utils You have a lot of verbosity with aplay -v Also notice that many mixer controls have not only a volume bar, but also a setting of muted or unmuted. A mixer control may show its bar at 100% but be muted, which could be confusing if you are not familiar with alsamixer. In my case least, the relevant mixer controls for a wav file are "Master" and "PCM". Both are stereo, both have volume bars, but only "PCM" has a mute/unmute setting. I don't know if this is your case, this wasn't clear from your screenshot. Can you get a png screenshot and send directly to my email?. Of course, it would be better if the alsamixer screen was maximized when you take the screenshot. Also, to test with another OS could be useful.
