If your mixer has a "phout" control, would you try to change the level
from 0 to any value?  e.g.:

| $ mixer
| Mixer vol      is currently set to  50:50
| Mixer bass     is currently set to  70:70
| Mixer treble   is currently set to  50:50
| Mixer pcm      is currently set to  75:75
| Mixer speaker  is currently set to  15:15
| Mixer line     is currently set to  75:75
| Mixer mic      is currently set to   0:0
| Mixer cd       is currently set to  75:75
| Mixer rec      is currently set to   0:0
| Mixer igain    is currently set to  35:35
| Mixer line1    is currently set to  75:75
| Mixer phin     is currently set to   0:0
| Mixer phout    is currently set to   0:0
| Mixer video    is currently set to  75:75
| Recording source: mic
| $ mixer phout 100
| Setting the mixer phout from 0:0 to 100:100.
