Please install and invoke pavucontrol and ensure that:

1) under the Playback tab, the streams are being directed to the desired sink(s) - [use secondary-click over the volume sliders and mouse-over Move Stream];
2) under the Output Devices tab, the desired audio device has been configured as default.

Also, please download and run http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh (explicitly using bash), and attach the url here.

Hey i have a same problem with my SB Audigy:
My alsa info gives me this:

utils_alsa-info.sh
root@piotr-desktop:/home/piotr/Pulpit# sudo sh utils_alsa-info.sh
utils_alsa-info.sh: 298: [[: not found
ALSA Information Script v 0.4.56
--------------------------------

This script will collect information about your ALSA installation and sound related hardware, to help diagnose your problem.

utils_alsa-info.sh: 298: [[: not found
By default, the collected information will be AUTOMATICALLY uploaded to a www.alsa-project.org site.
If you do not wish for this to occur, run the script with the --no-upload argument

Do you want to run this script? [y/n] : read: 298: Illegal option -e

Thank you for using the ALSA-Info Script

It's a bash script. You should invoke it explicitly with bash. Also, you
should not use sudo.

16:26 < dtchen> amitk: it looks like a dupe of 315971. note from your alsa-info.sh
                output that 'Front' is muted.
...
16:27 < dtchen> amitk: please test combinations of unmuting 'Front' and 'Surround'
16:27 < dtchen> amitk: i'll leave it unduped for now

No sound here, either. I have just upgrade to Jaunty Beta.

Starting pavucontrol, as soon as I move the slider, it crashes wuth this message in the terminal:

** (pavucontrol:16179): DEBUG: -5 = No such driver

My device (qorking fine with Intrepid) is:

I have also found a very strange behaviour. When I play an audio file with totem, my network applet starts displaying intense network activity. Looking at the output from "netstat -an", I have found this new lines:

udp 0 101632 192.168.1.50:59523 224.0.0.56:46716 ESTABLISHED
udp 0 0 192.168.1.50:57427 224.0.0.56:9875 ESTABLISHED

What is doing my mp3 with udp??

I can't event open alsamixer:

fabio@Plato:~ $ alsamixer
ALSA lib pulse.c:272:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: Connection refused

My sound is not working after upgrade to Jaunty Ubuntu 9.04-beta. I am using it on an Acer ONE netbook that has an Intel Atom CPU and intel sound chips. I do not get sound when trying the "Sound test" nor when trying an internet radio stati9on or internet program that has sound.Sound worked fine in Ubuntu 8.10.

Please provide instructions on how-to-run the script in Bash, so that i can send the results.

Thanks

'Front' was muted indeed. Marking this bug Invalid.

Anybody having similar issues are requested to check all their channels (you might have to enable them from Preferences in Volume Control).

I have the logon sound, but no other from music sources or web sources. This netbook is using Intel sound chips. My desktop with Jaunty has good sound, but it is using AMD.

I have checked all the sound channels. Can not get the test tone to work using Auto or ALSA, but do get a test tone on OSS.

For the record sound worked fine with 8.10. So what is going on with it now?

OK, I have done some checking, I do have sound using Rhythm Box Player, I get radio sounds.

I don't get sound from videos and web tv programs such as the ones on cbs.com.
