You snipped out the answer to why!! It turned out to be a problem with the
ROUTER.  But I did not know this, so I thought it might be problems with
the orinoco drivers.

I will try this, but I think this is irrelevant.  As I said in the OP,
sound *used* to work!  The only thing that has changed is that I've mucked
about with the WLAN card.

Also, like I said, sound *does* still work but I have to run
system-config-soundcard every time I log in to get it to work.

Thanks for the reply!
