I just want my headphones to work again without having to reinstall my laptop-- it'd be a pain to copy my ~200gigs of media back to my laptop after reinstalling. I came here from here(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure)
As a note, I first encountered this issue after updating to the current distribution (11.10).
