Sound issues

So, I run a dual boot Ubuntu (Narwahl, last stable upgrade)/Windows 7 netbook.

Earlier this evening I watched an .avi file (saved to hard drive) just fine- sound was normal.  Afterwards I restarted into Windows, just like always, and watched a little Netflix (sound was fine) before my connection crapped out (I think I need to update my network card drivers, unrelated) so I restarted back into Ubuntu.  And I go to watch another .avi file- and no sound.  I go back to the file I watched earlier to see if it's a corrupted file- and that one has no sound now either.  I'm not muted, I haven't used headphones or a mic in weeks.

Help?

I'm not running dual boot but a similar thing happened to me that I resolved by toggling the output in System>Preferences>Sound. Good luck!
