Jaunty could not open audio device

[jerrylamos]

Jaunty pre-Alpha no sound.
IBM Thinkpad R31 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM

Sound Preferences Test returns:

audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback.

Intrepid dual boot on same configuration sound is fine. No problem with detection.

Updates are done every day. I'll install Alpha when it is available.

Anything I can try?

Hi,

Are you still affected? You should not use Jaunty on production machines at the moment, as it is far from finished. I recommend that you wait until the official release in April next year :)

Not a production machine. If no one ran on Alpha's and Beta's and Release Candidate, Jaunty would be an even bigger mess than Intrepid has been.

I reported a "won't even boot" launchpad bug #259398 on August 19 which still wasn't fixed by Release. Lots of people then got bit, especially on upgrade since Ubuntu doesn't support downgrades.

No sound on Jaunty on IBM Thinkpad R31, IBM Thinkpad T40, Compaq Presario 3.3 gHz.

Both Jaunty upgraded to Alpha level and Alpha Alternate Install have no sound.

Copying alsactl from Intrepid sbin to Jaunty sbin enables remembering the sound level control instead of always forcing mute. However, still no sound on all three machines. On Intrepid they all three play sound provided the update to 2.6.27-10 is NOT installed.
