I had a similar problem with my NeXT (Color Turbo) going mute. I had started
to upgrade to NeXTstep 3.0 by using the installer floppy diskette included
with the upgrade package. Because of problems with my cd drive, I 
was unable to complete the upgrade. After this attempt at upgrading, my
NeXT would no longer produce any sounds; the mute button seemed stuck.

After further examination I realized that the floppy disk used for initial
upgrade procedure had installed the 3.0 Mach kernel. The 3.0 kernel does
not seem to be able to load the 2.1 sound driver. After later completing
the upgrade with a better cd drive, the problem has disapeared.

This might or might not be your problem.
