Hi Jude,
I think card 0 is unmuted, but I don't know how to select it as the main 
source.
I tried
pacmd set-default-sink card0
and it did not recognize card0 or card 0 as a device name.
Based on the below, from pacmd list-sinks
I get the list, but I don't know what name to use:

Thanks:
1 sink(s) available.

Try running pulseaudio in ssh with nothing on the command line, that may
start it up.
