Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

1) First, please try 'HOWTO: PulseAudio Fixes & System-Wide Equalizer Support' at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 . Please take the time to carefully follow all the troubleshooting instructions - it is the fastest way to resolve most sound problems.

2) If the guide doesn't work, then please include the information requested from the "Reporting Sound Bugs" section of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems as separate attachments.

Thanks in advance.

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information.

The fourth step listed in the "HOWTO: PulseAudio Fixes & System-Wide Equalizer Support" guide does not apply even remotely to Intrepid. The system preferences have no options to set "autodetect":

4. Open System/Preferences/Sound. In the Devices section, ensure that all "Sound playback" options are set to Autodetect. Set the "Sound capture" item to "PulseAudio". Close the application when you're finished.

Hi Lars,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 302790

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
