Try this. I ran into something similar in MX linux on my shop stereo media center. It runs pulseaudio and pauvcontrol also. I am not saying this will fix it but it won't hurt to try this. It fixed my problem though.
Open terminal. Type in
Code:
alsamixer
It will open up probably only showing 1 slider. Volume.
Next hit the F5 key.
Next hit the F6 key. Pick the intel choice that matches your sound chip instead of default.
Hit the enter key to close that popup window after selection.
Now go through all the slider controls you see. If any are muted. mm. Use the "m" key to unmute those. Arrow keys will move the way you can control what yopu want to change.
After everything is unmuted. Test for music using your favorite music player.
If still no sound.
Check pauvcontrol to make sure nothing is muted in there.
Also. Make sure no hotkey on your keyboard that turns sound on or off has been pressed by accident also.
alsamixer was ok. It seems sound is muted in pauvcontrol but it can't be changed. Some sound (audio in mplayer, video in adobe flash, vlc) is working after change in pauvcontrol configuration but video in mplayer is still crashing.

oh, i didn't see that yesterday.
so it's an mplayer problem?
maybe you have to move its configuration files out of the way, or tell it explicitely to use pulseaudio?
sorry i'm not so good with mplayer.
stretch has a fairly recent version of mpv, you could try that instead.

mpv is working correctly, it looks like mplayer problem now.
