[LAU] lost sound (it had been working)

[Reid Vail]

argg...this is SO wierd.

Check all the basics. 

Speakers work on a different PC, so it's not a physical problem there.  
I get nothing at all from the head-phone jack either.

The funny thing is, this all started when after I tried plugging in a 
mic. And that's it.

Here are some settings that might be useful.

snd_page_alloc         17680  3 snd_via82xx,snd_via82xx_modem,snd_pcm
reid at linux-rv:~$


And yet...total silence.

There must be something else I can check.

Thanks
