Neither audio nor video works after upgrading to kernel 2.6.32-61.
Applications like Firefox, vlc, totem, rhythmbox etc. totally freezes when trying to play videos (flash, mp4 etc.) or audio, and have to killed. Can't find anything particular in kernel and system logs.
2.6.32-61 is unusable on my old desktop, normally not connected to internet (I'm well aware that the 10.04 desktop version is unsupported...). For the time being I'll continue to use 2.6.32-60.

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.
