sudo chmod -R a+rwX /dev/snd solves the problem

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

That only masks the problem, which seems to be a problem between consolekit
and pulse. Did you check the pulse wiki pages on wiki.ubuntu.com?

[christian geier (ubuntu-hwbqs6t)]

You are right, this does only fix the problem temporarily. Yes, I did check the pages on wiki.ubuntu.com, but it didn't help.
