For some reason there's no sound coming out of either the speakers or the headphones on my laptop (Dell Precision M4400) after the upgrade.
Sound module is snd-hda-intel. I checked volume is up, mute is not on, yada yada, but no sound coming out.
I had a similar problem a couple of days ago. Is the module snd_pcsp getting loaded? If so, it's possible it may be grabbing your sound card before your real driver has a chance to do so. The fix that worked for me was just to blacklist it. I believe there's also a way to make it load after the correct sound modules (if you like the audible bell), which some judicious googling should turn up.
Good luck getting that fixed!

I'll try that too. Tnx much for the suggestion. DR
