Sorry but to be honest I get annoyed at not having sound through my speakers
so I ended up reformatting it and sound works again. It did work from a
live-cd as well (Live-CD being a USB stick).
Some things I did notice while tampering with it was that it didn't matter
what Connector I changed it to under the Sound options. Wether is was Analog
Speakers, Analog Output or Analog Headphones, it didn't seem to make a
difference. I also had been playing with the alsamixer while poking around
with the Sound Preferences which gave some very wild results. When I
selected the Connector to Analog Speakers the volume setting for the
Headphones was maxed as well as the Speaker volume, now when I told it to
mute the Headphone volume it muted the Headphone volume as well as muted the
Master volume settings (listed on both the Alsamixer and in the sound icon
in the top right) even though it was the Headphone option I told it to mute
(the Speaker volume setting was maxed the whole time and wasn't effected by
either the Headphones or Master volume settings being muted). By choosing
either Analog Output or Analog Headphones the Speaker channel had been
automatically muted for these and turning it to max volume and un-muting it
never helped the situation. Another thing I noticed was if I muted the
Headphone volume, unmuted the Master volume control then left Alsamixer,
went back into Alsamixer the Headphones had been restored to full volume
again and unmuted.
Sorry I can't help any more then this.
