LinuxQuestions.org - No Sound after 1st Update on Fresh Debian 6 Install ?

I just installed Debian 6 & prior to my first update my sound worked fine. But after accepting all the updates based on the repositories below the system can't identify my sound card.

Any ideas ? :scratch:

PS - The user is part of the audio group.

PSS - I was playing around with run levels and if I

ctl -alt F2

log in as user

su -

password

init 5

hit reset on the computer.

When it reboots I have sound.

I attempted changing /etc/inittab but after rebooting no sound :(

I am still unsure of what to do.
