I've been messing around a bit (2 much?)... first on advice I installed
paconfig.deb
which resulted in not having sound anymore :-(
so, other advice I followed:
sudo apt-get install padevchooser
then alt-F2 to run padevchooser
which didn't help at all, so I tried to undo it by:
pulseaudio -k
this gave this output:
E: main.c: Failed to kill daemon.
so here's the output of the present amixer:
