Mine, also. I have an Ensoniq card and about half the time it doesn't work. Rebooting seems to help.

Thumbs up

Try using the ALSA configure utility "asoundconf".

After upgrading to 7.10, my audio also quit. Apparently Ubuntu mistakenly chose the wrong audio chipset as my default. I used "asoundconf list" to list the card/chipset that's available, then "asoundconf set-default-card Live" to select my SB Live card as the default.

All worked fine thereafter. You may need to select ALSA manually in the "System->Preferences->Sound" menu. YMMV.
