When I say it does not work, it only does not work in web based sound (MSN.COM, Foxnews.com, etc). When I log in, it plays a small song, when I do some utilites, it makes a "bloop", "bloop" like it always has. I can also open mplayer and it will open and play sound files.

If you are talking about lack of sound in Flash based websites, make 
sure you have libflashsupport installed as mentioned in the release notes.
