I got no sound, which sucks because I need skype to work. Another issue, which I did not dig into yet, is the DVD RW drive which does not seem to work either. Eventually, I will try to switch to Gentoo and cheer for it. Otherwise, I will be stuck with badvista.
Run 'alsamixer' from the command line and make sure nothing is muted there,If you unmute or turn up the volume, 'alsactl store' will save your settings.
They should be automatically restored next boot.
