Maybe totally unrelated, but since my soundcard is Intel ICH6 there could be 
some correlation.

When I installed F11 (KDE desktop) no sound apps were working.  I tried some 
Gnome apps, and some of them did work.  It turned out to be a matter of which 
audio backend different applications need.  I don't know where you set it in 
Gnome, but in KDE it's in systemsettings > Multimedia > Backend tab.

On this laptop it was set to xine and changing it to gstreamer got things 
working again.
