thank you

Have you checked to see if your speakers are on? Have you looked at the mixer (like alsamixer, etc.), to see if the channels have decent volume, and if they're muted?

yes i checked them including the alsamixer and speaker power nothings happening ... the pcm volume is 100%

Not just the PCM volume...volume on the other channels as well, along with muting on the other channels.

Have you tried to run alsaconf?
