I can't believe there is no fix for this yet. As a new "convert" to Ubuntu, I was quite disappointed in the distortion of mid frequencies compared to WinXP. The sound is muddy and quite unpleasant to listen to! I have tried the above stuff plus a whole lot of other things like installing pulseaudio on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 but to no avail as there was no sound then.

My machine: AMD64 - need I say more?

An equaliser for Ubuntu might be the answer BUT I think it is an old fashioned bug that was introduced in Hardy. Please can someone give this more priority and visibility as this is going to lose Hardy and Ubuntu in general market share.
