I might have read this wrong, but I remember experiencing something
similar. In my case, the default mixer settings had CD input set to
mute.

Something like
	mixerctl -w inputs.cd.mute=off
or
	mixerctl -w inputs.line.mute=off
fixed it. I put these in my /etc/rc.local although there's probably
a better way of doing it.
