I also had this problem, which I worked around using 'alsamixer -c0' and unmuting things.
This is particularly pernicious because the default sound control that Jaunty provides doesn't have these mute buttons, at least for my hardware, nor are they apparent when I run just 'alsamixer'. (My hardward is a Dell Inspiron 1420N laptop, which apparently has HDA Intel STAC 92xx Analog hardware (?)). Also, I wonder if pavumeter and pavucontrol shouldn't be installed by default--they seem handy. -- [Jaunty] Sound card outputs start muted after recent updates to use pulseaudio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
