I had the same problem. This is all I had to do in order to fix my sound:

Go into the Konsole Terminal and type (or copy this and paste): sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset

Reboot, and hopefully you'll have sound.

I keep repeating myself but in case of these kind of problems it's handy to install alsamixergui.
My experience is that it shows most available options.

Alsa isnt listing the channel for my subwoofer though, it only lists the front speakers
