You have left out many details about your system, with out them it may be difficult to give you a clear and accurate answer. However, not knowing what all you installed you can try this and "hope" things go back to normal:
as root run:

Code: Select all

aptitude purge pulseaudio
Restart your sound system or reboot and see if it has corrected it's self.
