The speakers are un-muted. They show properly in the volume mixer both in plasma GUI and alsamixer UI, when adjusting audio through the plasma GUI it shows the test tone is being played through the speakers but nothing is played.
Ya already checked that, the gpu has a separate card that is for the HDMI port, and I have ensured its not set as default, and the card with the speakers is the default
Do you have more than one sound card? Press F6 in alsamixer. I've had problems with that before. Although it's likely not the issue.
