Comment 9 for bug 91681

Dear Members.
I have Ubuntu 11.04 x64.
A Bug #642888 (PCBEEP doesn't work) also affects me.
Maybe the same reason - ???
(A copy of this message posted to a Bug #91681)

Also alsamixer failed:

~$ alsamixer
cannot open mixer: No such file or directory

I try different mixers with the same result.
I created ~/bark.wav 48000 Hz, 24 bit stereo.

aplay -q "~/bark.wav"
ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0'

ALSA lib pcm.c:2212:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default

Maybe the same problem.

I try different sound cards with the same result: embedded snd-hda-intel, USB Juster sound card and USB speakers Logitech S-150. Sound Properties from System Preferences, Video Player, sounds of dialogues are works normally.

Other programs (non-Ubuntu) similar failures trying to play any sound:

KWave: plays a dialogue sound and shows a message:
Openning the device 'default' failed: No such file or directory

Rezound can not play with message:
Error: void CSoundPlayerChannel::play(sample_pos_t, CSoundPlayerChannel::LoopTypes, bool) -- the soun player is not initialized.

The best regards.
