I had numerous times when this occurred on my DELL laptop - maestro3. I
thought I'd figured it out that it had to be "Master Mono" channel
unmuted and turned up.

Next time - that wasn't it.

So I unmuted every channel, turned up all the volumes, then tried
arec/aplay for a quick sample, each time muting a channel.

Turns out I had to have "Mic Boost" channel unmuted/turned up.
