When I ran just amixer, it said playback is off. I don't seem to have the option in SSH to right arrow to try to unmute anything.

First, the names of the volume controls vary depending on the sound hardware and driver. Second, there's no single volume that's appropriate for all sound devices. If you set everything to 100%, you may well end up with a volume that's dangerously loud. So it always takes trial and error, starting with simply running the amixer command with no arguments to find out the available controls and what they're set to. This is an inconvenient but unavoidable aspect of using a DIY system like Linux on a single-board computer, as opposed to a pre-made, integrated platform where everything is tested and tuned by a single vendor.
