2008-11-24 12:43:53 Mackenzie Morgan description Using Jaunty 2.6.27-7 64 bit kernel on AMD64X2 PC with integrated sound nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a2). It seems last nights updates have broken sound on my PC. Initially, if I clicked on the speaker icon I got "The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plug-ins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured." If I then went to Sound settings top three settings are set to autodetect and capture is set to ALSA. If I then clicked on Test I got "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument". After that I could not close the Sound Preferences Window (had to do a reboot). Problem still there. Since then I've downloaded and installed some updates and now when I click on the speaker icon (see screenshot for actual icon) I can see the volume control(s). If I now go to Sound Preferences it look like something has changed as I now get Default Mixer Tracks (which I don't remember previously seeing). I can now click on Test and I get the Testing Pipeline Window, but no sound and if I go to sounds and select log-on sound (for example) no sound is played. Using Jaunty 2.6.27-7 64 bit kernel on AMD64X2 PC with integrated sound nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a2). After every reboot, mixer controls are muted, so no sound can be heard.

Could you please include the information requested from the "Reporting Sound Bugs" section of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems ? And is this *only* after reboots, or does this occur when you log out and log back in as well? If it occurs from starting a new X session, I think it's more likely to do with PulseAudio than the driver.
