Hi Frank. I presume this is after some updates to Sid. What do you you get 
from the following comands.

cat /proc/asound/cards
lsmod | grep snd

In a terminal/Konsole, what does typing alsamixer as user show? Perhaps some 
update or other has muted the sound, and you now need to unmute it. Just a 
thought.

I have Sarge, Etch, and Lenny installs, but havn't dared to go as close to the 
edge as Sid yet.

All the best.

Nigel.
