With a utility like pavucontrol you can see a breakdown of audio per-application, whether they are muted and which sound interface it is currently using. I would start there.

If you use Wine to run Windows games... I've never had Alt+Tab work properly in that case. It would either get stuck or I'd have sound problems.
