Is the mixer working ? (launch kmix for instance, it should show the
via 8235 (or what you have)), and look if every level is not on zero.
(I had a distro few years ago that reset it to zero from time to
time... no sound !).
(That's the only help I think of, I've got the same chipset and it's
working like a charm, sorry)
