Sound stopped working

Hello. Until quite recently, everything on m computer worked fine, then my sound stopped working while I was playing Dota 2, with the music first, then the effects, then everything on my computer. After hours of web-crawling, I have not found a solution that fixes it. I do not know what files I need to post, so I will upload my aplay output, and the lists in alsamixer. I am using pulseaudio and switching in desktop environment between XFCE, LXDE, and Openbox. If I need to upload more files, just make a comment and I will.

Sound card list in alsamixer:

-  (default)           
0  HDA Intel MID       
1  HDA NVidia          

The "default" one is corresponding to PulseAudio, could its lack of an index number tell me why I cant get sound?

Re: Sound stopped working

Never mind, completely resetting PulseAudio and Alsa fixed the problem.
