Hello,
Sound stopped working at some point on my laptop. I don't use the
sound very much so it's hard to say what caused it, but now I need to
start use a SIP phone so I need the sound. I've double-checked
everything mentioned here:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml
but I can't find anything that indicates anything is wrong, other than
the lack of sound. The only strange thing is nothing happens when I
click on the Settings -> Mixer Settings icon in xfce4 except the
system seems to revert to an older version of GTK or something and X
gets pretty unstable. Very strange. This icon is different than the
xfce4-panel volume icon. That icon works fine.
Can anyone suggest anything to try?

I brought the sound back by muting the "Headphone Jack Sense" in
alsamixer. Removing SiS AC97 modem support from the sound card
section of the kernel fixed the strange Mixer Settings stuff.

When I upgraded to alsa-utils-1.0.11 my sound died.
I had to downgrade to 1.0.10; it seems is a widespread bug for my SiS
soundcard.
