It seems OK. And I misunderstood alsa-info.sh output. That's the expected output. So, it's not the cause of PulseAudio problem, as it seems. In anyway, try to poke something manually, e.g. perform the following as normal user: % amixer -c1 set Headphone 50% % amixer -c1 set Headphone unmute % pasuspender -- aplay -Dplughw:1,0 -vv /usr/share/sounds/alsa/test.wav % pasuspender -- aplay -Dplughw:1,1 -vv /usr/share/sounds/alsa/test.wav I guess it's former, but let's see. And you can adjust quite lots of knobs via "alsamixer -c1" (ESC to quit).
