My audio only plays under certain conditions

Hello, Ubuntu-ers. I triple boot Ubuntu, Debian, and MacOS on my late 2015 27" iMac. If I start a stream or an mp3 using mplayer, I can see mplayer start and the audio start, but nothing plays from the speaker.

However, oddly, if I open firefox and start a youtube video, and then play an mp3 or stream, the audio works. I can then close youtube and play the audio forever. However, if the mp3 ends, I must start the cycle over again in order to hear the next one. I can use alsamixer to control the volume once it gets going.

Here's some output:

Code:

brock@phasma:~$ aplay -l
