sound

When I click to sound icon on the panel, I have 3 options:

"Mute all" is gray and could not be clicked

Slider - I can slide but it DOESNT change anything

Preferences - Shows this

(waiting for the response from audio device), but it doesn't show anything for more than a hour

This is from aplay -l :

root@fb:~# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: ALC272 Analog [ALC272 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevices #0: subdevice #0
karta 1: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: ATI HDMI [ATI HDMI]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevices #0: subdevice #0
root@fb:~#

What's wrong?
