On most sound cards I have used you need the following to play a CD:
unmute and turn up volume (I like about 75%) for CDin, and master. Some
cards have multiple sliders for master, but most are Master mono, or
other irrelevant settings. Just plain simple master is usually what you
want there.
Turning up and unmuting PCM/wave playback is usually also nice if you
want to play other sounds too.
Most other things aren't used very often.
In alsamixer MM at the top of a channel means muted. hitting 'm'
unmutes it. cursor keys control volume on channel and selecting
channel to adjust.
