Question Sound has now gone to a faint whisper...help

Hi, I need some help. My sound is now just a faint whisper, I have tried several different media, youtube, gamespot streams & DVD's using xine & MPlayer with no luck. I have gone to the gnome control panel, then clicked on sound to see if there is a problem, everything looked ok...have you any ideas?
and yes I have the speakers on max and the speaker volume is on max on the control panel.
thanks for your help!

Check in Yast - Hardware - Sound
See if the main volume slider is at about 70%
