I can't get the sound working om my pc. I've read lots of threads on this forum about sound but no answer to my problem.

I can see my soundcard:

aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Starting alsamixer gives me:
