Uninstall anything related to PULSE that you can (libraries can stay, the
server must absolutely go), and then use aplay -D hw:X,Y to make your tests,
it gives the error message without muddling things with automagic
workarounds.


The OP might just need to use alsamixer to unmute something. If alsa is 
not configured properly, pulse doesn't stand a chance. Ric

Have you tried to use "alsamixer"? It gives some control over the volume and
muting of the different output/input channels/devices.
