Try these commands as root to see if you see your soundcard there: aplay --list-devices cat /proc/asound/cards And to see the driver (kernel module) being used (usually called snd*): lsmod | grep snd

That's the "Pulse Audio volume Control" : highly recommened to reroute sound streams but also to trobleshoot this sort of thing.

HTH,

I see the built-in audio controller from Intel. In pavucontrol, under "Configuration"...do you see your card there? If so, what profile do you have selected?
