I recently upgraded to Debian 10 and get no sound through the speakers. I installed from the debian-10.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso. I am getting sound through the headphone jack, but nothing through the speakers.
I am running on Quad Core AMD A8-7410 APU with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics (-MCP-)
The alsa mixer comes up with the default pulse audio, There are 2 cards listed with i hit F6 HD-Audio Generic and HDA ATI HDMI. I set made sure everything was unmuted and had volume but still no sound. My speakers are connected to the analog outputs so should be using the HD-Audio Generic I think.
When I pull up the configure audio volume in KDE settings, it is showing a circle with a line through it next to the mute button. Not sure if that tells you anything.
I run the alsamixer, the default comes up with pulseaudio. There are 2 other cards listed when I hit F6 to change cards. My speakers are attached to the analog outputs so should be using the HD-Audio Generic I think? again not very knowledgeable about the sound. Made sure everything was not muted and had volume but still no sound.
Distribution: Ubuntu Linux 16.04, Debian 10, LineageOS 14.1

Rep:
I had an issue with sound after upgrading to Debian 10. It had to do with the package timidity-daemon. Uninstalling this solved my issue with sound. More detail here.

timidity-daemon is not installed.

#7 that second column in your alsamixer post says muted? is that the headphone? i thought you said you got sound through the headphone jack?
Correct the second column is the headphone. It shows muted when not plugged in, then un-mutes when plugged in. and yes I am getting sound through the headphone.

#8 Install pavucontrol, the Pulse Audio Mixer. It should be in the repos. It will give you much more granular control of Pulse
I installed the pavucontrol. It also shows the circle with a line through next to the mute button, like the kde volume control did.
The output devices tab shows "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo" Port "Line Out(plugged in)"
I can click mute/un-mute but no sound. I also see the bar moving in the control when I play music with juk but no sound.
My sound wasn`t wonking on Debian GNU/Linux bullseye/sid.
I run alsamixer and all was ok, I reinstalled pulse, alsa, volti, intel drivers... and nothing.
My problem was that PulseAudio daemon was not running automatically.
To run it I execute in bash: pulseaudio
and all ok but I dont know if it's permanent and the daemon start...I should reboot...

Thank you, but in my case I had checked and the daemon is running. I need to do some more research, but have other time constraints right now.
