Check the PulseAudio Volume Control for your default device.
This is my Fluxbox . There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My Fluxbox is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my Fluxbox is useless. Without my Fluxbox, I am useless.

It was fixed automatically rebooting the pc after a few days.
Thanks for the help.
