Hi Jaco,
i had the same problem today.

There is a "turn around" solution for this:

At the boot screen, you can choose the version of the Kernel that you
want to use. I choose this: 2.6.32-60-generic

I recomend that you choose the version before the "problematic one" :P

I also disabled the automatic updates at Synaptic.

If you want to turn the "solution" more permanent, you can also edit
(make a backup copy before) the file /etc/default/grub and change the
value of GRUB_DEFAULT to 2. Then de boot loader will load the 3rd boot
option (first is 0). Run update-grub and reboot to see if work.

PS: If you keep the automatic updates on, when it setup a new version of
kernel, it will override this modification at grub.

Title:
  No sound after kernel upgrade

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After a kernel upgrade to linux-image-2.6.32-61-generic sound has
  stopped working. Sound applications hang and no sound is produced.
  "ubuntu-bug -s audio" does produce the first test tone but not the
  second one. Any subsequent attempt to close apport then causes it to
  stop responding. After rebooting with the previous kernel (linux-
  image-2.6.32-60-generic) sound works as before.

  Machine is a Dell E5500 laptop with HDA-Intel sound hardware.
