Thanks all, I managed to come up with a work around Sound is now working however:
1) Everytime you upgrade anything to do with the kernel you have to undertake the workaround again 2) More crucially, system sounds don't seem to work now for example when you get a warning or log on or log off. However sound plays fine now on web-pages (flash) and playing mp3s via VLC etc. For full details on the fix, please see the blog article I wrote on it at: http://www.vampwarez.com/2010/05/linux-sound-problems-guide.html Ideally sound should just 'work' when you do a fresh install, if there's anyway this can be fixed in a future release this would save people a lot of headaches.
