[solved] Sound very quiet

Sorry, already solved.
"amixer set Front unmute 100%" fixed the problem. Strangely enough, i muted and unmuted each and every playback device via alsamixer many times.
If you have similar problems try these three commands:

amixer set Master unmute 80%
amixer set Front unmute 100%
amixer set Headphone unmute 100%

Hello,

my sound is very very quiet. To hear something I have to turn my amplifier up to at least 1/2 volume. At that volume level it would usually be enough to be wake the neighbourhood.

I checked with alsamixer if the sound output was muted but it isn't. What's strange is that the sound output worked just fine today but a restart suddenly the sound was very quiet like this.

Any ideas what's causing this?

Mainboard is MSI H55M-ED55 with sound chip ALC889.
