Sound does not use Default-Channels on ALSA

Hello I have the following Problem.

Since one of the last systemupdates (Did not figured out which package, yet) Applications are no longer playing any sound.
Only If i choose a specific outputchannel i.e in VLC, then the sound works. For other apps like chromium, or nulloy not. In contrast mplayer plays the sound very well with automatic detection. So the Problem is kinda weird.

FYI:

aplay -l                                                          1

My chip is like ever, the default sound device.

Any recommendations on how to debug this would be fine.
