I'm not sure if this is the right place to discuss the reason for this "bug". The actual cause is in 99% of all cases, that the alsa alias "default" is pointint at an invalid (e.g. unplugged USB headset) sound device.
On ubuntuforums.org, I see at least 2 posts a day which are a direct result of this problem - The solution is almost always to use "asoundconf set-default-card xxx" in order to point it at the right soundcard.
Maybe it would make sense to fix the handling in gnome's sound settings, because if they would work correctly, people would probably sort things out themselves - in 2mins.
Currently you "can" choose the right soundcard there in the dropdown settings, but it almost never updates the "default" alias.
Any suggestions where else to put my comment on this?
