Thanks for the tip on logging the output of the frontend. Once I did that and 
reviewed the log I noticed that the their was a problem with the mixer on the 
Music settings and on the video settings. On the music settings I had to 
choose /dev/dsp and on the video settings I had to choose ALSA:defualt. Now 
everything is working again on this frontend and I have sound on everything I 
watch or listen to again.

Thanks again for the help!
