I have a client whose sound has suddenly died, after

obvious explanations are user error (clicked something without
realising) or dead hardware.
She is running Debian Wheezy with TDE 3.5.13.2 on an oldish Dell
laptop. Since I haven't got the laptop here, I haven't got its
specs. I cannot have the laptop to work on for the moment, since she
is using it a lot for now.
All suggestions or explanations welcomed,

I remember a problem with kmixer and alsa that sounds like it. Symtom was, that kmixer did
modify "maste" but "pcm"was 0%, thus no sound. The workaround was
setting "pcm" to 100% (or what ever is suitable) using alsamixer from console.
Sometimes doing this once solved the problem, sometimes I had to put amixer
<someparameter> in rc.local.
An other one were the "enable"-switches. kmixer did not set the pcm on option.
Doing that once in alsamixer solved the issue.
