Makes sense but it worked before update world with
only PCM unmuted.

Some sound servers/mixers allow you to set master to use the PCM setting
(by default they are separate, afaik). I think I've seen this in the
XMMS settings and possibly elsewhere (either the KDE or GNOME sound
server settings).

So maybe that's the reason why you could have sound when only unmuting
PCM (because PCM was being used for the master setting, so unmuting one
 effectively unmuted both). But in the default settings (where PCM and
Master are two different settings), you would have to unmute Master for
anything else to emit sound.

It is  dependent on both afaik, 

does your hardware chipset have facility for a headphones output?

if so, does your motherboard use it?

if so, is there support in the driver?

unmuting master is always needed if you want any sound to come out!
