Bug Description
After upgrade to lucid from Karmic my sound has stopped working. Using a 'standard' Dell Latitude D630 with Intel HDA sound card. Alsamixer sees the card and so does aplay but the gnome sound applet does not. Nor do other apps like banshee etc.
Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release: 10.04
I expected sound to work just fine as it did in Karmic.

Did the following and when executing it as sudo the sound came back twice while it was terminating processes. Was playing an mp3 through banshee at the time.

I now have sound in banshee after closing banshee, killing arecord followed by "sudo alsa force-reload". Sound preferences sees my sound card on the hardware and output tabs.
Will update after reload.
