Had to reload Hardy and now the headphones can barely be heard. Speakers 
plugged into the same socket have normal sound. Alsamixer shows full 
volume for master but 0 for headphones. Furthermore the headphone box is 
collapsed with no room to increase volume. Selecting headphones and 
using the up arrow does nothing, naturally. "Dpkg -l alsa*" shows:

un  alsa                      <none>                    (no description 
available)
ii  alsa-base                 1.0.16-0ubuntu4           ALSA driver 
configuration files
un  alsa-oss                  <none>                    (no description 
available)
ii  alsa-utils                1.0.15-3ubuntu2           ALSA utilities

Am I missing some packages and why do the speakers have normal volume 
when plugged into *the same socket*? This worked well prior to the 
reload.

Any pointers or ideas?
