Public bug reported: this has only recently started.
If I start any application that needs sound - vlc, rhythmbox I hear nothing I killall -9 pulseaudio play vlc or rhythmbox and I then have sound I lose my ability to use the sound bar from the indicator area and need to control volume directly from the application At all times I hear the drum noise on start up, but that's the only sound I hear.
