That looks OK, too.

It seems that you have muted all your playback channels ("[off]"), so I
am not too surprised that you do not hear anything. You have to unmute
at least "Master" and "PCM", possibly other channels as well. Try
amixer set Master unmute
amixer set PCM unmute
for a start.
You can also use "alsamixer" interactively while you run speaker-test so
that you will hear the effects of your changes immediately. (In
alsamixer, use CURSOR LEFT/RIGHT to select a channel, CURSOR UP/DOWN to
change the volume, M to mute/unmute, and ESC to exit.)
