Hello,

Have you tried different devices?
As Mark Knecht suggested, try to install media-sound/pavucontrol; it is 
a graphical tool for sound management. Your problem might be as simple 
as unmuting the sound from there.

Note: you replied to me directly; please reply to the mailing list 
instead, so other people can see your response as well.

Regards,
Julien
