I suggest you run either amixer/alsamixer,

I had tried to run alsamixer. It gave me two channels, neither of which
helped. (master and capture) I tied all possible variations that I could
think of with no result. I obviously wasn't thinking very well. :-(
I had thought that sound was probably muted somewhere - I just couldn't find
where! amixer shows it clearly. All (all? ;-) ) I now have to do is use the
man pages to find out how to unmute the master at the command line. I have
found how to unmute capture, but capture isn't muted!
Thanks, both. I'll report back for the archives when (if?) I succeed.
