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. Do you have any LiveCD?
