Audio Playback From Audacity/Totem Movie Player Not Working Yet Other Audio Works

[Dana]

Startup sounds play properly. Yet audio output doesn't work for Audacity or Totem Movie Player. System thinks it has an Intel sound device, when motherboard actually has a VIA VT1828S chipset.

Please let me know what more information I can provide.

Thanks

Hi Dana,
The reason why it says "Intel" is that your south-bridge chip, controlling the codec, is Intel.

Could you please supply a pulseaudio log according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log , i e, start the log, while it's running with the log on, try to do some playback from audacity (make sure audacity's output setting is set to "alsa: pulse"). Thanks!
