no sound in ubuntu command line

[Linux for blind general discussion]

 Welcome to Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.4.0-36-generic x86_64) 

It says amixer and alsa-utils are both installed, but typing amixer gives the following:
 amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory~0D

Which ubuntu version?
Amixer is still available.
May be install alsa-utils?
