Were Intrepid updates the reason I lost my sound on the Intrepid partition?

I am not trimming because it may help those who are like me to read this on in
its entirety. Anyway, on advice from the list, I opened adept to the place
where I was stopped in the installation of Java. I was told to hit alt at the
time when the button did not show. I did and it worked. The button appeared
and I clicked on it and the package continued and finished install. Later I
removed Java and reinstalled it using the version available on Adept, but it
still did not correct the sound problem I am having with Dragon Player. I
hope this additional info is useful.
