Posted for Weather God! Trying to Analyze Sound Problem!

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

I received this email from <email address hidden> on behalf of WeatherGod, one of the administrators I believe who is trying to help me understand why it is i do not have any sound on my Ubuntu 9.10 download. This is what I asked and he responded: "The audio with my Ubuntu 9.10 is not working for any program within this distro. I am within VMWare Workstation 6.5, what can be done to solve this problem?

I was told to post this information after typing into the terminal this command: (sudo fuser -v /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/* /dev/seq*)

Here are the results of that command:

USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/controlC0: mel72 1166 F.... pulseaudio
mel72@mel72-desktop:~$

I sent this information to him as an email and within this bug report I'm typing right here and now.
