no sound (Jaunty)

[Günter]

since last kernels update sound does not work anymore on Jaunty Beta (newest upgrades)

killing pulseaudio and starting from command-line in verbose gives me:

[Günter (guenter-grodotzki)]

ok my fault. the volume-control hotkeys on my thinkpad t60 messed things up. e.g.:

muting / unmuting shows correctly but in real to activate sound again I need to press the "louder" hotkey again. (although shown via alsamixer -c0 / notify / gnome-mixer correctly as unmuted)
