Debian 10 sound not working
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-)

I can play music via juk and run the pacmd command then the output shows as active, but still no sound.
I am no expert on the sound, especially with pulse audio. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

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.

KDE Audio Volume Setting
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.

Alsamixer
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.

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.

Install pavucontrol, the Pulse Audio Mixer. It should be in the repos. It will give you much more granular control of Pulse.
It's possible you will find the speakers muted in Pulse, whereas line out is not muted.

jlehrkamp, the output in posts #3 #4 #5 is next to useless.
That needs to be put in CODE tags.

timidity-daemon is not installed.

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.

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.

Usually, it is the desktop environment that launches the pulseaudio daemon automatically.
