I don't see the DSP switch either, but I do notice that the PCM switch
is off. Try clicking the speaker icons above the PCM slider so that
they are the same color as the one above the "Master" slider. If that
doesn't work, turn some of the other switches on and off and see if that
helps any.

It seems that the upgrade reset different Alsa perameters on various
sound cards. Very bad behavior for a security update.
