Taking a Walk With Debian Jessie by Dan. In order to do this, I wanted to do a clean install instead of upgrading from Wheezy and having the safety valve of falling back on the old kernel. No safety nets here! Also, it's on a testing machine. Showstopper number two is sound. As in, I have no sound. Wheezy (Debian 7) was still running 3.2 but now with Jessie (Debian 8) the jump to 3.16 has brought some wonderful hardware support! Also included in this new update was the much debated Systemd and init system. Installing Debian 7.1 'Wheezy' Sep 24, 2013 • Adrian Every time I install Linux, no matter what the distribution, I have the same problems; configuring video and audio. HQP NAA - Raspberry Pi.

I installed Debian 7. I wanted a music player, so I tried
banshee , xine , amorak , exaile , mp3blaster , totem , lxmusic , xmms2 .
After trying all of these, the only that would play any sound was
mplayer and various other software based on mplayer , such as gnome-mplayer , gmplayer , etc.
What makes
mplayer different from the other players that allows it to play audio?

Probably you did not install corresponding gstream plugins.
Without proper audio/video decoders, it won't play. MPlayer does not rely on this, so it works

There are different ways to play sound in Linux. There are: pulseaudio, alsa, oss, jack. There are also multiple higher level libs like: sdl, openal.
Mplayer can use a lot of this and can select different way to access audio if one way doesn't work. Look into
mplayer -ao help . Find out which ao works for you by logs and check by specifying ao explicitly. In case of alsa find correct device. Find out how your not working program plays sounds and find the difference.
In case of alsa pay attention to which device is used to play, try different devices (in mplayer -ao alsa:device=...) - there may be stereo, surround and etc and something may not work.
Also you may use different or wrong audio card (you may have HDMI and integrated for example).
In case of pulseaudio check that you volume level is correct.
Use
alsamixer to check volume levels in alsa and f6 to select and check list of your alsa devices.
Use
pavucontrol to setup your pulseaudio.
In case if pulseaudio doesn't work you can also remove it =)
