sound gone; was opening and ejecting a DVD

[peasthope@cablelan.net]

Thanks Steve, Brad and Douglas for addressing my enquiry 
about xine finding a DVD.

sources.list now addresses the unofficial repository and 
libdvdcss2 is installed, but the problem is deeper.  
There is no sound from any application.

lspci finds the USB controller and lsusb finds the 
C-media USB sound device.  The sound device manager 
in xfce4 now finds only the on-board Intel sound device.
Even Skype, which has never failed before, fails to recognize
the C-media device.  No application produces any sound 
from any device.

The only change I recall since sound worked is that I 
used tightvncserver in place of xfce4.

Any suggestions other than reinstall the entire system?

Thanks,        ... Peter E.
