You have been subscribed to a public bug:

In Intrepid on 2009/04/09 the update manager showed
nvidia-180-modaliases (180.11-0ubuntu1~intrepid1) was newly installed,
which seems to have stopped me from getting any sound (mic input,
speakers out).  Formerly I had sound.

Oddly my etc/groups file is now blank (!).

I followed the steps in "Comprehensive Sound Problem Solutions Guide"
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 and got to running the
module-assistant (with code "sudo module-assistant a-i   alsa-source"),
which allowed me to choose my driver (I need the intel8x0 driver or
ice1427, but I just went for the former), and the install did not
succeed.  Log attached.

Later I ran sudo alsaconf which claimed to successfully configure the
ice1427 module, but I'm still with no sound.  The error message
pertained to gstreamer plugins, which led me to check etc/groups file,
which shows up blank under sudo gedit etc/groups.  This file looking
blank started after I ran alsaconf.

Any ideas on how to save my system?
