I had some good luck fixing sound after it disappeared with the 2.6.10 
kernel update.
I did this by bringing up a "command window" and running "alsamixer" 
from the
command window.  I then played with this.  It uses the arrow keys etc. 
to control
this mixer.  You can search for my earlier post on the archives for the 
details that
worked on my machine, but your problem sounds somewhat different.
