You could try to run: 
amixer set Master 100 unmute 
amixer set Wave 100 unmute 
amixer set PCM 100 unmute 
amixer set CD 100 unmute 
 

Comment 2 Thomas Covello 2004-02-18 21:46:39 UTC
Are you using a Dell Dimension desktop? If so, this bug could be a
dupe of bug 107060.

Comment 3 Joerg Skottke 2004-02-19 07:28:32 UTC
No, i'm afraid not. No dupe.
I have a handcrafted machine (Epox EP8KTA-3 pro board and a
SoundBlaster Live! 1024).

I don't think Alexander's suggestion is helping either since the mixer
applications don't appear to see the soundcard at all (i will try it
today anyway).

But i've noticed that there have been quite a lot of updates to ALSA
and the emuk-driver in the 2.6.3 kernel. I think i will try the new
kernel, maybe the problem is accidentially solved. 

Comment 4 Christian Schaller 2004-02-22 17:46:21 UTC
When running the 'Soundcard detection' applet I am told that it is
unable to load the snd-emu10k1 module. After I ran aumix and adjusted
the sound up from zero it did work, so I think this is a bug in the
capplet not in the alsa installation.

Comment 5 Joerg Skottke 2004-02-23 18:17:37 UTC
I hate to admit it but after applying the amixer settings the
soundcard works. :(

I apologize for the inconvenience.
