I just upgraded from Ubuntu GG to Ubuntu HH (8.04) on several laptops. Just one of them is giving me audio problems. Pulseaudio is now the default on Ubuntu. Prior to pulse even the problem one had no audio problems. Ubuntu has a sound preference application, that lets you test and select one of auto, alsa, esd, oss, or pulse. On the problem laptop the only one that works is OSS when I press the test button. On the other laptops, the pulse test gives the test sound. When I go to run any of vlc, mplayer, or xine on this laptop I get no sound. I also don't get Ubuntu's login audio theme. Mythtv does work, apparently its going directly to OSS. How do I debug this? The problem laptop is a Fujitsu S7000. This is a Pentium M laptop with an intel sound chip. My .pulse directory looks like :::::::::::::: default-sink :::::::::::::: alsa_output.pci_8086_2668_sound_card_0_alsa_playback_0 :::::::::::::: default-source :::::::::::::: :::::::::::::: volume-restore.table :::::::::::::: pulsecore/protocol-esound.c$GStreamer 1 65536 alsa_output.pci_8086_2668_sound_card_0_alsa_playback_0 pulsecore/protocol-native.c$gnome-sound-properties 1 65536 alsa_output.pci_8086_2668_sound_card_0_alsa_playback_0 and the pulse processes running are 7253 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --log-target=syslog 7302 ? S 0:00 /usr/lib/pulseaudio/pulse/gconf-helper
