I installed LMDE when it was first released and on the whole my problems have been minor. Those that have occurred have been solved through the expertise of members on the Forum.
Now, for the first time since installing LMDE I am absolutely lost and frustrated. For some reason I have lost all sound: audio discs do not play; youtube videos and flash are soundless; presentations with sound are silent.
It must be something to do with LMDE, because if I run Katya, Live CD, all those things give glorious sound.

Would some kind person help me to solve this problem, please, 'cos I don't want to abandon LMDE.
