Comment 5 for bug 449589

Thanks for the help everyone. I gather from the post, that a fix for the alsa-utils bug will be released. Daniel T Chen mentioned that commenting out a line in a file would fix the problem. Is this something that I could do to fix the problem, while the fix is being implemented?

Daniel, I would like to use PulseAudio, if I could only find out how to set it up. In Ubuntu 9.04 I was able to go to 'System->Preferences->Sound' and select PulseAudio. In Ubuntu Karmic I can't see any option for selecting PulseAudio, the new sound control panel makes no mention of PulseAudio at all. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
