Sound Problem After Upgrade

[Norman Nunn]

Hi,

Yesterday I upgraded hal and kernel with new releases and then noticed 
today that my sound does not work.  Applies to games, music files and 
CD's.  The players appear to be working but nothing comes from the 
speaker.  I checked the settings in the volume control window.  Sound 
works ok in my other OS (dual boot) so it should not be a loose 
connection or broken hardware.   I checked it with both KDE and Gnome, 
there is no difference.  Is any one else experiencing the same kind of 
issue after the upgrades??
