I have a XPS M1330 laptop, with sigmatel STAC9228 audio. I just upgraded to Jaunty RC, and all of my sound stopped working (including log-in sound). I've double checked in multiple applications that nothing is muted. After a little digging, I have found that OSS works 100%, but I'd prefer to keep Pulseaudio. Pulseaudio is showing strange symptoms:
In the Pulseaudio Manager, I can use the sample cache tab to play some sound. Using the Pulseaudio Volume Control to view sound levels, I have noticed that when RTP is selected as the output for the sample cache, I can see the sound playing, but nothing is reaching the speakers. When I select the analog output channel in the sample cache, sound actually plays. In both cases, only .wav files play sound -- .oggs create no sound and no level on the volume control.
Does anyone know what's happening? It seems as though if I switch to analog pulseaudio output, my problem will be "fixed", but I'd rather fix it properly.
