I have no sound with 4.1 kernels. Reverting to 4.0.0.-5-slh.2 all works fine.

      Code:
lspci | grep Audio

00:14.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)


Thanks.

      Code:
infobash -v3
Host/Kernel/OS  "trumpet" running Linux 4.0.0-5.slh.2-aptosid-amd64 x86_64 [ aptosid 2011-02 Ἡμέρα - kde-full - (201107131633) ]

While it's certainly possible that the kernel might have regressed, chances are higher that 'just' the order selecting the default audio controller has changed (e.g. HDMI output suddenly getting a higher priority than your normal sound output). Please check first that all volumes are at maximum (alsamixer) and then to emit sound to all the possible sound output (see "cat /proc/asound/cards") with aplay (-D default:CARD=XXX).

Sorry for the delay.

The only difference between the states of audio with 4.0.0-5 and 4.1.0-1 kernels that I can find is that with latter kernel lsmod shows an additional sound module, snd_hda_core, not present with the 4.0.0.-5 kernel.

      Code:
lsmod | grep -i snd
snd_hda_codec_via      13970  1
snd_hda_codec_generic    55239  1 snd_hda_codec_via
snd_hda_intel          21713  2
snd_hda_controller     17433  1 snd_hda_intel
snd_hda_codec          80759  4 snd_hda_codec_via,snd_hda_codec_generic,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_controller
snd_hda_core           17287  4 snd_hda_codec_via,snd_hda_codec_generic,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_controller
snd_hwdep               5914  1 snd_hda_codec
snd_pcm                79169  3 snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_controller
snd_timer              18770  1 snd_pcm
snd                    58773  11 snd_hwdep,snd_timer,snd_hda_codec_via,snd_pcm,snd_hda_codec_generic,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel
soundcore               5359  1 snd


This I cannot remove because, as you see, it is a dependency for other modules.

Any further advice welcome.

Have a look at the output from "aplay -l" and "aplay -L" under the working and non-working setups. I'd still think slh's guess that the order of sound cards/devices (or choice of default) has changed is the best guess. If you look at "man speaker-test" you can also find out how you might test different outputs using the output from "aplay -L". Or are you confirming you checked and there is no difference there?

The other thing is that it might be something fairly specific to your motherboard/laptop and searching about that (or telling us here what it is) might turn up something like a change in modes used or something.
