Comment 48 for bug 25632

Peter,

According to Hebert, it appears it was fixed. It seems like this bug was something of a side effect of a larger problem of how sound was handled in the first place. Considering Karmic is still really early in its development, I'd still give it a while before you go trying it out on your main/production system. Hopefully it doesn't regress back to the way it is in Jaunty now before release. Here's hoping that doesn't happen.

But if it's just the Pulseaudio and Alsa packages, you could just try updating those packages and see what your results are. If this problem is on a more important machine, that might be the safer route so you can still roll back your changes. If anyone tries that out, let us know the results.
