The other problem is that the sound is very fragile... I can easily break the sound into "static crunchiness" by hitting backspace in the terminal 3 times while any sounds (e.g., music) are playing from another application.
I can reset the sound by turning the hardware off and back on from the gnome-volume-control on the panel, but this is a very tedious workaround because it takes about 8 clicks to go through the process, sometimes more - if I have to minimize something that's full screen first.
I'd be really happy to be able to: a.) find the place(config file or whatever) where I can change the default sound setting from mute to mid-level on login, and b.) have some batch-script or macro-like way to turn the sound hardware off and then back on, with one-click, or keystroke.
Don't take me wrong, I'm absolutely not complaining about this wonderful and FREE operating system... these are just humble requests... nothing more.
@cement_head, that's one of the same problems I'm having on another machine... per this bug: /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ linux/+ bug/442748
