You have [many] more than one sound driver listed in lsmod. Make sure you've unmuted/turned up the sound levels on the right one.

Nice: there was gnome-volume-control buried in the menus. You have to unmute a few controls there and then xfce4-mixer - the control on the desktop starts to work.

Thanks again.
