Bug Description
I am a new user to Ubuntu but I have become quite familiar to it now.Recently I encountered this problem.I tried to change log in sounds via Login Window Option in preferences section.There were three options namely Log in,Successfull Login and Login Fail.I assigned sounds for Successful Login and Login Fail.Whenever i do so all sounds stop working.

I have this problem as well, and it appears to be a race condition of sorts between GDM playing sound and ALSA attempting to initialize. When GDM is configured to play a sound for "Login Successful", the hw:0 PCM device is busy when ALSA attempts to open it. After I've logged in, I cannot get any sound from ALSA. When I open the Volume Control dialog, there is a device labelled "Playback: Null Output (PulseAudio Mixer)". When things are working correctly, this device is labelled "Playback: HDA Intel - AD198x Analog (PulseAudio Mixer)".
The following lines of my /var/log/user.log file relate to the problem:
Jul 28 18:22:19 haven pulseaudio[3372]: alsa-util.c: Error opening PCM device hw:0: Device or resource busy alsa_output. pci_8086_ 269a_sound_ card_0_ alsa_playback_ 0 tsched=0"): initialization failed.

When I uncheck the "Login successful" sound in System / Administration / Login Window / Accessibility and logout/login, everything works fine.
