Can confirm this bug on two machines with fresh installs of Ubuntu 10.10, one with Desktop Edition, one with Netbook Edition.
Asus 1005HA, Intel HDA audio: 00:1b.0 Audio Device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) Asus P5Q Pro system, Envy24 / VIA ICE: 07:01.0 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies Inc. ICE1712 [Envy24] PCI Multi-Channel I/O Controller (rev 02) As a few of the later comments are suggesting that it is audio driver related, I hope this helps. The drivers I am using are simply whatever Ubuntu defaults to using for these devices. On the ICE1712 chip there's a completely unrelated bug which means one cannot access the analogue outputs which required me to reconfigure Pulseaudio a little, THIS bug (644644) was present before the modification. I'm happy to supply more information if requested as I have two fairly fresh systems here on which to test.
