ALSA Audio (no sound)

OK, so I've got no sound after a fresh install and having followed instructions in the ALSA wiki etc.

I have absolutely no idea what the problem is other than that I have no sound, so I'm just going to include as much information as humanly possible, and there's anything else I need, well, I'm sure you'll ask :-D

Here we go..

I am running xfce.
I have a Radeon ATI Video Card (if that's relevent).
Apparently I have no Master or PCM or the like..

Re: ALSA Audio (no sound)

Do you have a .asoundrc file in your home directory? If so, what's in it? I messed mine up one time and ended up with almost exactly what you're showing.

Re: ALSA Audio (no sound)

Nope, no .asoundrc file.
