now lost sound completely. Via YaST, I've deleted and reconfigured
the soundcard, but this had no (apparent) effect.
The card is currently detected as "d330 uT' with driver snd-intel8x0
- I'm afraid I don't know if that was also the previous config.

AFAIR, the kmix application used to show several miscellaneous
sliders, but they seem to have gone too. (replaced by 3-4 tabs with
streams).
Any suggestions on how to get sound back? (apart from reinstall).

Is there really not a single app that plays sound or just KDE? Does it
not work either for a new user?

I'll try a new user and see if that works. Otherwise the welcome sound
isn't played, and flash in Firefox doesn't produce any sound either.

You could have a look at the phonon backend via systemsettings >
multimedia > phonon. For xine it sometimes helps to remove the ~/.xine
folder if updating its plugin list screwed things up. Pulseaudio may
play a role, you can enable/disable it via YaST. You can also try the
different phonon backends available, i.e. gstreamer and vlc.

Okay, thanks.
