Weird problem just appeared. I'm on x64 15.04, Lenovo T410, with driver snd_hda_intel and my sound does not work anymore, in the sense that the indicator on top is greyed out, and has an "x" next to the speaker icon. If I press the indicator the "mute" option is enabled, and clicking it has no effect.

The weird thing is that it plays sound, but I can't change the volume levels, neither with the indicator or with buttons on the laptop case. I recently updated the kernel with dist-upgrade so that could be the problem maby. System settings -> Output -> does not show any available output-options. Thanks for suggestions guys.

Well, I fixed it by reinstalling alsa-base and pulseaudio with apt-get. Now everything works fine and there is even "speakers" in the output-section of the sound system settings. I think maybe my headphones was the culprit.
