I am getting a weird problem... there is no sound coming from any of my media players.
I checked the sound properties (system->preferences->sound) and all the test buttons work (except sound capture but i presume thats for a mic test) but when i try play a song there's no sound.
The sound used to work perfectly, until I started messing with 'alsamixer' and now I can't get it back. I've tried turning up everything in the mixer but am i right in saying that you shouldn't do this? That there are some volumes that should be muted?
If i'm getting sound from the 'test' button through the speaker then the problem must lie with a sound channel being muted,
