Comment 256 for bug 445849

Hello. I still have this problem in Ubuntu 13.04. The sound fails all the time, and the only way to fix it is to manually change the sound controls in the sound panel. By changing balance and volume, it comes back. As soon as I increase or decrease the volume again, it goes bad again. The only way to prevent this is to only change volume in the hardware.

Please note: I don't have any problems when using stereo headphones.
