For some reason you need to toggle the External Amplifier to make sound work. People that don't know this, might start blaming Linux for not supporting their hardware.

Unchecking it doesn't help though, but I just now found out that sound is actually working to headphones!

I've been without sound a couple weeks! Flash or whatever used /dev/dsp directly worked fine, so I figured it was something to do with esd or alsa. OMG, thank you!

Sound was fine, but DVDs were really quiet. I thought it was just the way the DVDs were designed until I rented <i>The Aviator</i> and it was barely audible. Once I enabled every single mixer control I found out that there were other controls (labelled VIA DXS 1-4) that only affected the sound if it had more channels than stereo.
