 Sound worked for a few hours (less than a day) after the upgrade to ubuntu
 hardy, then suddenly
 stopped completly. The strange thing is, that I am not aware, that I
 changed anything around that time.

 I watched a small movie from my camcorder with totem (sound was OK),
 stopped watching and wanted
 to watch the same movie with vlc, but sound failed since that moment - no
 idea what the cause might be. It never worked again since that. The
 problem persists reboots.

 I just rebooted with an old knoppix cd to make sure, that this computer
 still could do audio output: it worked out of the box (alsa, but not
 pulseaudio).

 any more infos I could give?
