I've been messing around a bit (2 much?)... first on advice I installed
paconfig.deb
which resulted in not having sound anymore :-(
so, other advice I followed:
sudo apt-get install padevchooser
then alt-F2 to run padevchooser
which didn't help at all, so I tried to undo it by:
pulseaudio -k
this gave this output:
E: main.c: Failed to kill daemon.
so here's the output of the present amixer:

As far as I can tell all controls are unmuted and
with sliders at least
halfway.
In System-Preferences-Sound-Devices all are set "autodetect" except:
Sound Capture --> ALSA and
Default Mixer Tracks --> CAO106 'Alsa Mixer)
The mouse-over pop up of the Volume Control reads: Analog Center/LFE:
86%.
In the volume control (CAO106 Alsa Mixer) there's 2 tabs:
Playback --> IEC958 Front
Recording --> Line In _ Microphone
In Menu-File (change device) I have:
- (marked) 0: CAO106 Alsa mixer
(following ones all unmarked)
- 1: mixer OO (OSS)
- 2: Playback: ALSA PCM on front: O (CAO106) via DMA (PulseAudio Mixer)
- 3: Capture: Monitor Source of ALSA PCM on front: O (CAO106) via DMA
(PulseAudio Mixer)
- 4: Capture: ALSA PCM on front: O (CAO106) via DMA (PulseAudio Mixer)
In Menu-Preferences "select tracks to be visible these 3 are marked:
Line In, Microphone and IEC958 Front
There's a whole bunch there unmarked: phone, IEC958 (variants:
Center/LFE,
Rear, Unknown), Aux, Analog (variants:
Center/LFE, Front, Rear, Side,
Source), Capture Feedback, Digital Source, Shared Mic/Line.
That's probably too much info, but I hope the wrong setting is detectable
here.
Thanks

Mic and
Capture are unmuted with the volume sliders raised.
