After some problems with my computer, my onboard sound seems to be acting up. After rebooting into my newly working system (the Heatsink was not seated correctly and was overheating the chip) I wanted to play some music so I started xfMedia and there was no output. At that point I checked the levels via xfMixer and then alsamixer to ensure that neither the Master or PCM sliders were muted or down too low to be heard. Neither of them were (both at about 80% and unmuted). I have also installed another soundcard, but that one doesn't work well in linux either (doesn't boot up with a Master or PCM slider.) The chip is a SiS SI-7012, which uses the snd-intel8x0 driver.

Anything else anyone needs, I will be more than happy to post - and thank you for taking the time to read this.
