Do you have pulseaudio installed? if you run pavucontrol is it set to use Digital
instead of Analog? I had this same problem and
discovered that my sound system was trying to use Digital instead of Analog. Once I
changed that with pavucontrol my sound started
working again.

When you say sound does not work, do you mean you can't get sound to be
heard from any source, CD, web, etc.
What kernel are you using? A recent kernel upgrade made swound work fo
me when previously it only worked from a web source,
