I have a newly installed Wheezy system on a freshly built AMD64 system

play runs and displays the file info and shows its progress through
the file. Unfortunately the is no sound from the speakers. I have
tried to run alsamixer to verify that the sound is not muted and the
volume is sufficiently high. Unfortunately, running alsamixer with no
arguments yields:
cannot load mixer controls: Invalid argument
I have not passed any arguments on the command line and none should be
required. How can it say that there is an invalid argument? I have
tried running both 'play' and 'alsamixer' as a normal user and as root.
When I run lspci, it shows:
01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc Manhattan HDMI Audio
[Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series]
What else should I check? What other output would help diagnose this
problem. I am used to sound on Debian "just working" so I am not sure
what to look for when it doesn't.

Sorry about replying to my own post, but...
I am using LXDE as my DE. I added the volume control to my panel and
verified that it is NOT muted. But the sound is all the way down and
will not let me increase it. Something must be misconfigured, but I
don't know what. Please help!
