Hi Arvind,
Sorry to be asking the obvious but... have you checked your mixer? Alsa is
notorious for its default muting behaviour. For example, the pcm setting
often starts off at zero and you have to manually raise it to a reasonable
level to hear sound. If you haven't checked, it may be worth a try.
Cheers,
Jonathan
