Comment 12 for bug 374010

I am running 2.6.30-7-generic #8-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 25 13:52:54 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

After rebooting, I unmute and adjust the volume level to max and still get no audio.

Issung "pkill pulseaudio; sleep 2; pulseaudio" give me a working audio for mplayer, vlc and rhythmbox.

Alsa output applications have a useless brief burble.

$ pkill pulseaudio; sleep 2; pulseaudio
