Dude I love you. I've had my USB as default through many tutorials set up already but the volume was at 0; I pop open Alsamixer, put it at 100 and now with VLC my speakers are working.

+Love and cookies for you and the community

Don't forget to reboot (shutdown and remove power - pause - power on) to verify that the volume setting is retained after restart.

all this because RPi doesn't have a visual volume meter haha

Random note: is there a way to make a shortcut to an app from the Pi Store because I love the background time/weather app; and on a sidenote is there a better time/weather background/screensaver type app for debian/arm?

In Raspbian you can add the Speaker Icon to the LXDE Task Bar

Not really - I did not know you are using a UI. My music streaming RPis tend to run "headless" so having things start up in the right state is important to me.
