I installed i3 yesterday and up until now I was able to heard a sound but now I can't, the headphones are still working, I checked them at another computer with Windows.

My config file:

####################
# My Configuration #
####################
exec synapse
exec /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
exec setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll us,il
exec feh --bg-scale ~/Pictures/background.jpg
exec --no-startup-id nm-applet

bindsym $mod+F1 exec firefox

client.focused          #1C2023 #1C2023 #00BAA7 #00DA8E
client.focused_inactive #1C2023 #1C2023 #ffffff #484e50

You have not specified what you are using for sound. Alsa? Pulseaudio? In case you want to use pulse you will need to autostart it:

exec --no-startup-id pulseaudio

Maybe you will also want to think about using a tray mixer like Volumeicon or pa-applet ... In any case you should be able to check your audio-settings with alsa-mixer or pavucontrol respectively - maybe the sound is muted at the moment?
