Check that you've got an arts sound server running on your system - use gtop if you've
installed it, its much friendlier than top.
If you havent got it set to run on start up then you wont get any sound. 7.2 had
problems with this that 8.0 has sorted. I'd advize a total reinstall if upgrading to
8.0, I tried an upgrade from 7.2 and had LOADS of trouble, just bakup yoour data and
go for the clean instal, then go and get the security patches esp the bash patch if
you do any C, and hopefully it'll all work.
