No need for specs if that speaker test works. If it works and you have sound, then your issues are likely either
- you are struggling with a pulse audio bug, or
- one of your installed multimedia applications is misbehaved and has seized the audio device and is not letting it go, or
- you do not have your codecs setup completely, and so for files where you have the codecs sound will play, but for files where you do not have the codec, sound will not play, or
- your mixer settings are varying, and you have not learned how yet as to what you need to check in your mixer
I suspect a combination of all 4.
First off, wrt your mixer, you need to ensure Master, PCM, and in some cases "speaker" volume are moved up to a reasonably HIGH value. Each time you play a multimedia file, the PCM in particular may change dynamically, and you should test it again.
wrt codecs, take a read here:
