I have the same problem. After the upgrade and reboot, sound was muted. When I unmuted it, then the only sound that could play was a low crackling sound. Also, when I shutdown, the shutdown process hangs while trying to halt ALSA.

I was able to get my sound playing again by commenting out the code that starts pulse-session in the file (below). I'm not familiar with pulseaudio, so I don't know if disabling it is going to break something else for me.

/etc/X11/Xsession.d/70pulseaudio

# If we are loading a GNOME session, load pulseaudio.

#if [ "$BASESTARTUP" = gnome-session -o \
# \( "$BASESTARTUP" = x-session-manager -a \
# "`readlink /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager`" = \
# /usr/bin/gnome-session \) ]; then
# STARTUP="/usr/bin/pulse-session $STARTUP"
#fi
