I'm not sure if running alsamixer yesterday after your instructions had anything to do with it or booting without the headphones plugged. Those are the only different things (related to sound) that I've done before starting the machine today. GNOME even displays some information when I plug the headphones. It didn't do this before. One thing I noticed when booting is an error that says something like this: Error: "pcspkr" is already registered, aborting. I wonder if that is related. Although the speakers worked anyways. Thank you, Florian.
