So, if your computer has several sounds cards - which is the case when you have both a sound card and HDMI audio - how is PulseAudio supposed to know which sound card to use? This is in no way different to plain ALSA. FWIW, sound works in 99% of the cases right after a fresh install. Problems like the one described by Christian usually occur on systems which have been undergone several configuration changes and upgrades, i.e. old systems. Adrian -- .''`.
