No Sound and wifi after install of virtualbox

[JustinAlf]

I have never had this happen before, but I'm stuck. I installed Virtualbox and all of the kernals that I could install for it. After a reboot, I lost my sound and wifi abilities. I have since uninstalled Virtualbox and have gotten rid of the Virtualbox virtual kernals associated with it. Still, no wifi and no Sound. For the sound, it tells me that I am missing the gstreamer plugin. Whats going on!?

I had an identical problem last night, when I did a modprobe for my wifi module, it came up blank. So I checked grub during boot and found that Virtualbox had somehow (probably my fault) set a -386 kernel as default. I booted up, did a gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and commented out the offending kernel. Fixed the problem,I got my wifi and my sound back after another reboot.
