I updated my Ubuntu Gutsy a few hours ago and sound suddenly stopped working.
I'm on a Thinkpad T61. Pressing the volume keys that are built into the laptop
display the popup volume meter but the bar is empty and refuses to move.
Running gnome-volume-control gives me a dialog saying "No volume control
Gstreamer plugins and/or devices found." I'm new to Linux but it seems standard
from reading other bugs trying to solve this one to post this info:
