Debian Jessie RC1: No audio from any device.

[Tarvaln]

I installed Jessie RC1 on an old HP Pavillion using Xfce eviroment. It has a Nforce mobo with onborad audio, Creative Sound Blaster X-FI and an AMD 5850. I'm not getting audio from any device on the system. I've checked the audio levels in the mixer and everything is turned to 100%. Each device is labeled properly in the mixer settings. I've added the user to the Audio group.

I've played the test sound from terminal and didn't hear anything. I don't get any errors just no sound. Headphones are plugged into the Nforce mobo, one set of speakers in the SB X-Fi and the HDMI goes to a monitor with speakers.

I'm a little lost on what the problem is. I've installed Jessie on a couple of other machines and never had an audio issue.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

It could be low or muted volumes in alsa.

Check the volume levels with

alsamixer -c0

or

alsamixer -c1
