Sure it is. You even say it used to work. So unless that part of the
chip physically failed, it can be fixed.

Can you post the sound card info from "lspci -v" (PCI ID, etc) ? And
please post the contents (if an) of /etc/asound.conf and ~/.asoundrc.
I believe you said you are not using PA, are you also not using
any other sound server, like Jack or the ancient aRts or ESD?
