Thanks, Nik.

I have a client whose sound has suddenly died,
after running well
since the system was installed. (Six months?? A bit more?) The
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.
