by upgrading, do you mean, you installed new packages through the update manager? or did you do a clean install?

Hi! There is a FAQ for sound problems, perhaps you may want to have a look at it?
FAQ #112: “Sound Problems”.

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install linux-ubuntu-modules-$(uname -r)

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Then reboot your pc.
