I would try removing the previous alsa mixer configuration and redoing
it. To remove it:
  rm /etc/asound.state
Then start alsamixer or your favorite gui mixer (gamix, for example) and
set levels, unmute outputs and so on and so forth. 

Then store the configuration:
  /usr/sbin/alsactl store

You can restart the alsa driver to see if things are working:
  /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound stop
  /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound start
