I have an HDA Intel sound card (ALC883). Alsamixergui is the only one that works by clicking the speaker icons at the top to make them green. When I unmute using the other apps, in Alsamixergui the speakers stay white signifying that the playback is not actually unmuted and the sound does not work. This is fairly critical and was reported for 12.04: no sound, no music, not Skype, etc. I hope this is going to be fixed. Not sure if it is actually the apps' fault or pulseaudio's. Please forward as appropriate. This is just another thing that tell people loudly to STAY AWAY FROM UBUNTU!
