It certainly used to but an update some time in the last six months has silenced it. From the bottom:
lspci | grep Audio:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
lspci -v:
...
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
   Subsystem: Intel Corporation Optiplex 755
   Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 44
   Memory at feaf8000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
   Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
   Capabilities: [60] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
   Capabilities: [70] Express Root Complex Integrated Endpoint, MSI 00
   Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel
   Capabilities: [130] Root Complex Link
   Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
   Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel
...
rc-update show | grep alsasound:
            alsasound | boot
Then with xfce audio mixer, from the sound card list, is chosen HDA Intel (Alsa mixer). But it is silent. It's not muted on the mixer control. Master volume is set to maximum.

Any ideas ?

Xfce mixer really is no mixer, it's a frontend. To get the real picture look at amixer output.

This seems to be just pulseaudio mixer. Check the settings on the actual card too.
