I have a similar setup.  When I do a fresh install I cannot use either
the alsamixer or aumix by themselves to unmute the sound.

What I found is that neither (by itself) will unmute the sounds.  I have
to go into each mixer independently and set the volume controls, then
save that and go into the other mixer to do the same.  Once I have
preset volumes in both mixers, then either will control it by itself.
