I had this error once with Ubuntu, and wound up having to reinstall. Try in a terminal.

You might try reloading the alsa modules. Run these one at a time from a terminal:
You will have to reboot to check. Did you update the kernel? What's the output of from a terminal. If you have updated the kernel, then it might be possible to boot using an older kernel at the grub menu and your sound might work.

I've had the same problem with sound and followed your advice in the previous post and inthis one. On the 4th command I received this message:
"Build of the package alsa-source failed! How do you wish to │
│ proceed?"

My options are to "VIEW Examine the build log file"
"CONTINUE Skip and continue with the next operation"
"STOP Stop processing the build commands"

Which one should I pick, I'm going to pickview in about 30 minutes. Can anyone out there help me?

Choose to view the log files and post any errors it reports about the module build failing.
