alsamixer may tell you something useful.
When I select HDA Intel PCH, which is what it should be using, everything looks normal with one possible exception. There are three volume sliders labeled S/PDIF and the second one has "Default" tacked on to it. All three have volume set at zero and alsamixer won't allow any change.
The default should be HDA Intel PCH.
I think you set the default with the space bar, though I haven't done it in a sufficiently long time that I'm not completely certain of that.
Space doesn't do anything, but there are clearly problems with alsamixer. The only function key that works is F6 (Select sound card). F1 - F5 are supposed to do other things but they all cause alsamixer to exit. Does it matter that I'm running alsamixer from the command line? If I need to invoke it from a GUI, how can that be done?
Thanks for your help, Jeff
