Appears I don't need too but I'll keep this for reference. Although I may loose everything again after rebooting....
I went back into Sound Preferences and I had sound themes OFF. I clicked UBUNTU as the sound theme and everything immediately started working I heard a confirmation sound event! I had my optical digital cable plugged in and the sounds system set to that. I am back to digital sound through the optical cable. I went in and turned off sound themes (my preference) and I'm still getting sound when I play .wavs or whatever. This all started when I ran System> Administration> System Testing. This has happened to me before when I had everything up and running and ran a "utility" that stepped on a .config or something. I was checking the mute during this whole process and everywhere I saw one it showed NOT muted. I was trying not to be that stupid. The sound mixer seems to have changed in 9.10 and I'm not yet familiar with it. There seems to two main choices for hardware, Internal (I assume MB) and USB (no clue). Same for output. From the Internal choice I have 15 choices between all the analog and digital devices to choose from. The other rather unfortunate thing (for me) is, there are headphone jacks on a pop-up in my case where there are several USB and firewire Sata hook-ups. There is a headphone jack on my keyboard ENERMAX KB007U-B RT and if I'm not mistaken also on my monitor ASUS MK241H add to that a Coax, Optical and six audio plugs on my MB. I've never been able to get them all working. There is a microphone and a webcam built-in on the monitor and I was trying to test. Again there's also a microphone jack on the case pop-up, keyboard and for all I know probably the monitor too. Headphones would be cool and the option to plug them into the keyboard or the case pop-up would be great but as you can tell I'm not smart enough when it comes to all this to get it all working. I did see a HOWTO for my monitor to get the webcab and stuff working. When I feal brave and 9.10 settles down maybe I go back and try it again. I feel blessed and very lucky that after two hours and panicking all I had to do is turn on then off sound themes. By doing so I assume a configuration was updated that got stepped on running the test utility. And now that I have my sound back I'm doing going to touch a thing! Thanks for your quick response!!!
