In most cases it is found that some of the sound channels have been muted. In
my opinion the easiest way to tackle this is to open a terminal and then
type 'alsamixer' (without quotes). This gives a clearer and better picture
of what is going on than the gui tools.
Each channel has a label and a few words about itself. Make sure that
everything relevant has a reasonable volume setting. Use the arrow keys to
move around. 'M' will toggle Mute.
