Shortly after the start the sound gets somehow deactivated or invisible muted (in alsamixer everything looks fine, volume is up not muted). However, I don't hear anything and I don't get any error messages). What can I do?
The first thing I'd recommend is to launch Kmix and see if it agrees with alsamixer. If it does, go into Control Cente -> Sound & Multimedia -> Sound System. Try to disable it (untick "Enable the sound system", hit apply) and see if it works. If not, then re-enable the Sound System and click the Hardware tab. Check the setting for "Select the audio device". This is normally set to "Autodetect", but it may be worth while to specify one specificly. Since you're using ALSA, that would be the first one to try, followed by the others if you have any listed.
The "last resort" thing I'd recommend is to use either apt-get or Synaptic to purge/completely remove ALSA, then reinstall it.
