STEP 3 (Tries X 3)


sudo su #You know the drill

rm ~/.asoundrc #Just to make sure
rm /etc/asound.conf #could'av been done by --purge param but lets just be sure
rm /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf

#Start apt-get cmd (update, nuke ALSA plus its drivers and then reinstal'em again)
apt-get update
&& apt-get --purge reinstall linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils linux-image-`uname -r` linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` libasound2
#End apt-get cmd

Reboot and then give the usual feed back plus the output of the following
cat /proc/asound/cards #Check whether ALSA has learnt its Lesson on card detection
aplay [fully fledged path to any *.WAV file] #Check if alsa plays at good volume

Two more things ..
1. The last line with pavumeter is part of the apt-get command above it. Don't execute it alone.
2. When they release 12.04 and you decide to upgrade, always replace config files with the PACKAGE MAINTAINER's VERSION!. Fault that rule only when you are sure of what you are doing or else your installation will divide by zero like the way its doing now

As suspected, it is a config problem usually associated with upgrading.
I may need physical access as resolving this over mail will be difficult!
But for now....

Legend:
this is a command #This is a comment
You can paste the commands along with the comments if you like. They'll be ignored


STEP 2 - fire up bash and paste the following one by one:-

sudo su #To avoid typing sudo for every command
apt-get update #Just incase
killall pulseaudio #Prime suspect number 1
rm -R ~/.pulse* #and his suspect config files
rm -R /etc/pulse #"   "    "       "      "
apt-get reinstall "pulseaudio-*" libasound2-plugins paman padevchooser paprefs pavucontrol pavumeter #now we reinstall them afresh

Reboot your setup after it finishes the re-installation.
Provide feedback just as you did so that i refer you to STEP 3
(which involves doing the same for ALSA if the above doesn't remedy)

STEP 1
Get an Oneiric live CD and boot into it on the same machine.
Check whether you experience the same problem(s).

Post some feedback for instructions on STEP 2

Hey Simon,

Get to the Ubuntu software center and search for Ubuntu Restricted Extras. Install then see if it works.
