Much the same here. Sound has always been a bit of a mystery in Debian
for me ever since Sarge.
This is a Jessie system.
The time I got it working, I think in Squeeze? Florian Kulzer had me
debugging things with the commands below and managed to see what the
problem was.
Interestingly I had sound working with alsa before one of the upgrades
recently. But I don't use sound all that often, so have no idea when it
was lost.Installed and tried with pulseaudio, It said that the devices
were locked, so have purged that again now.
I have not been able to see from the commands results of the commands
that Florian supplied how I can get my sound working.
Here are my results and those commands, you might compare and if you
have much the same results we will know we both have the same problem:
