Yes, pressing 'M' on alsamizer did the trick.
For the record, here's the output of those commands, before I used alsamixer:
hendrik@notlookedfor:~$ amixer info
Card default 'pulse'/'PulseAudio'
Mixer name : 'PulseAudio'
Components : ''
Controls : 4
Simple ctrls : 2
hendrik@notlookedfor:~$ amixer contents
numid=4,iface=MIXER,name='Master Playback Switch'
; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw------,values=1
: values=off
numid=3,iface=MIXER,name='Master Playback Volume'
; type=INTEGER,access=rw------,values=2,min=0,max=65536,step=1
: values=65536,65536
numid=2,iface=MIXER,name='Capture Switch'
; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw------,values=1
: values=off
numid=1,iface=MIXER,name='Capture Volume'
; type=INTEGER,access=rw------,values=2,min=0,max=65536,step=1
: values=11215,11215
hendrik@notlookedfor:~$ amixer scontents
Simple mixer control 'Master',0
Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Limits: Playback 0 - 65536
Mono:
Front Left: Playback 65536 [100%] [off]
Front Right: Playback 65536 [100%] [off]
Simple mixer control 'Capture',0

Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right
Limits: Capture 0 - 65536
Front Left: Capture 11215 [17%] [off]
Front Right: Capture 11215 [17%] [off]
hendrik@notlookedfor:~$
And the amixer contents after I did so:
hendrik@notlookedfor:~$ amixer contents
numid=4,iface=MIXER,name='Master Playback Switch'
; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw------,values=1
: values=on
numid=3,iface=MIXER,name='Master Playback Volume'
; type=INTEGER,access=rw------,values=2,min=0,max=65536,step=1
: values=65536,65536
numid=2,iface=MIXER,name='Capture Switch'
; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw------,values=1
: values=off
numid=1,iface=MIXER,name='Capture Volume'
; type=INTEGER,access=rw------,values=2,min=0,max=65536,step=1
: values=11215,11215
hendrik@notlookedfor:~$
The second 'values' field in 'Master Playback Switch' clearly
changed from 'off' to 'on'.
And VLC became audible.
