No sound in ubuntu 10.04 under X-Windows

[Paul King]

Hugh:

I created a new account, and the sound worked obediently. The user has
no password (don't worry, I intend to delete this account), and is I
don't think it's an ALSA or any kind of driver problem, as I have had
this same installation since April with no sound issues. This problem
has only occurred in the past couple of days.

It is likely that a recent "update" of Linux has caused a problem, as
I've been updating mindlessly so far. Can't think of anything else.
