Comment 27 for bug 1131220

1) Yes, I have the same issue when running a clean install of ubuntu. It was the first thing I tried when I installed quantal a year ago, in the hopes that it was a cinnamon and/or raring issue. No dice. If it would help at all information-wise I could run pactl through the unity desktop? I have an image of Saucy I can boot from to try it if you think it'll tell you more.

2) I don't specifically remember disabling my onboard audio card, but perhaps I did? Anyway, I always have my Maudio card plugged in when I boot up. Possible old news: If I boot up with it unplugged I can get into the menu, but obviously that doesn't do me much good.

What can I try next?
