NEW INFO I just restarted with pulseaudio. In alsamixer I have two options in F6: -(default) and 0 (HDA NVidia) On both instances I can mute the Front level, but it also mutes the master level. Then I can unmute the Master level without unmuting the Front level. In QAS mixer, when I mute Front, both default and pulse master controls are muted as well as the Master and speaker control of hw: Card. In the hw: Card mixer I can unmute Master, but the Master control of default and pulse stay muted. When I then unmute default or pulse master (they both have only one control), Master, speaker and Front are unmuted. So, if I could get configuration to leave Front muted than I should be able to get sound. Now I also know the reason why I only hear a short burst of sound after unmuting; when unmuting default or pulse: sound returns but disappears because Front level is unmuted again.

When I plug in a headphone I have sound. Problem lies probably in Pulseaudio, because I hear a short period (<2 s) through speakers after mute and unmute. This effect is toggled by the sound-indicator muting only (pulseaudio), not on the alsamixer or card controls in pavucontrol or QASmixer. Output of alsa-info.sh: http://www.alsa- project.org/db/?f=5a9a15aafd216fb880268a672fa11e3c822c09a1 I already tried most of the proposed solutions, but still no luck. UPDATE: in search of solutions, I tried to get a log of the pulseaudio processes so I made a ~/.pulse/client.conf with autospawn=no and killed all pulseaudio. After that I entered the command to verbose start pulseaudio. And low and behold, I had sound (but it means that pulseaudio is not running, because the sound-indicator applet and settings applet is not working. In QAS mixer I get "Mixer device could not be opened" Function: snd_hctl_open Address: pulse Error: Connection is refused I kept the ~/.pulse/client.conf unchanged and restarted the system. Now I still have sound so it seems that with my system sound can be played but without pulse.
