        Hello,
Big thanks for your reply.
Yes the problem with indexes is my mistake perhaps it has all ben 
screwed up by this mistake.
Anyway now I have successfully restored my alsabase file from the backup.
Into the soundblaster card (ca0106) I have got loud speakers connected 
and into the intel8x0 I have got heatphones.
I guess both of these cards are activated upon booting because I can 
notice a tiny click while booting. I believe this is normal. But that 
login prompt sound does not play at all.
I think login dialogs shows up because when tapping backspace key I can 
hear system beep.
I have also googled that alsa stores its volume control settings in 
/var/lib/alsa/asound.state . I have tryed to rename this file so it will 
run using the defaults but still I am getting no sound.
I haven't got an other option just try booting live cd or windows and 
mess with the system until the sound comes back because I haven't 
braille display connected to it nor I have configured sshd to control it 
remotelly.
