Another sound fixing trick for the newest distros:
yourusername@debian7:~$ su Password: root@debian7:/home/yourusername# alsa force-reload
This reloads all the sound drivers en masse. Though fairly reliable, the sound still craps out occasionally for me on Mint 15, Ubuntu 13.04 and Debian testing, ( on a regular Dell PC) and this command usually fixes it.

Then, some laptops has a function keys, on the same keys as F1, F..., where you can press FN+ (the mute button) to turn on or off the sound. On some lappies, these keys are driven by the software (in linux), or on older lappies, it is directly controlled by the hardware, which is more multi-platform friendly. Also, does the laptop has a hardware volume control, probably on the side of it?
That was it. Thank you so much Alexandre. There was a small actual button, immediately below the touch-pad. Daft place. It can obviously be touched by mistake far too easily!
I now know the model: Dell Inspiron 9300.
Thanks :-))
