I have not modified /etc/pulse/default.pa

[Luke Yelavich (themuso)]

Somethign is tying up your card. What is the output of sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*

Thanks.

[Robbie Williamson (robbiew)]

$ sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
                     USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/pcmC0D3p: roard 3047 F...m roard

so I have *no* idea why I had roaraudio packages installed, so I removed/ourged everything that mentioned it...and now sound works! :) Thanks for the debug tip Luke, I'll close this as not a bug.
