Cheers Frank Not using Sid, and wondering if pulseaudio may have been installed as a new package to your Sid install as part of the updates, I changed my /etc/apt/sources.list in Lenny to point to unstable, ran apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade (without doing the upgrade), but saw no mention of pulseaudio being installed as a new package. Of course, if you had already installed pulseaudio on your Sid install, it is possible that there may have been an update to it, which may have caused your sound to hit the fan . Saying that though, perhaps with pulseaudio installed, even aplay would not have worked (not sure on that). I don't have pulseaudio installed on my Lenny install, and from experiencing it on a Fedora 8 install, where my sound no longer worked, I quickly disabled it, and have no intention of using it on Lenny, or anything else for that matter. Have you tried other audio apps apart from audacious since the sound problems? I use Mhwaveedit for playing sound files, and it's available from the Debian repo's. I'm not sure what the default is for audio out, but if you try it, look in Edit/preferences/sound, and driver options. If by some obscure chance you do have pulseaudio installed, you can disable it by removing the package, alsa-plugins-pulseaudio, and if you're using KDE, as I am, this will also remove the package kde-settings-pulseaudio. Just a couple of thoughts Frank, as it's horrible when you use sounds a lot, then suddenly they are no more. All the best, and have a nice weekend.

I should have realised that all the above output would be ok, when a couple of posts back, you said that aplay was working ok. Did you run aplay as user, or root? I ask because it sort of sounds like a permissions problem. If you did run it as root, it may be worth a look in /etc/group, and make sure that your user name is still attached to the audio group.
