Always had trouble getting sound to work with Debian, never had it

Playback device is default

Sine wave rate is 440.0000Hz
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 2048 to 8192
Period size range from 1024 to 1024
Using max buffer size 8192
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 1024
was set buffer_size = 8192
0 - Front Left
1 - Front Right
Time per period = 5.822096

This goes on until I kill it but no sound.

The system acts as if everything is alright, so you do not have a
problem with some daemon blocking access to the device.

Time to look at the mixer settings; please post the output of:

aplay -lL

amixer
