I've done several fresh installs of Jaunty (from alpha 5 or so), and never experienced this problem. Are you sure it's an issue, or is it an issue only when performing a distribution upgrade?
Edit: I just checked - I'm not a member of any of the pulse groups, and experience no issues.
Re: Jaunty 9.04 Sound Solutions
Great thread. I'll let you know if it works for me...I have a Dell E520, and apparently there's a BIOS problem that is interfering with sound.
Sorry, but you have a typo...
lobao2 should be libao2

No joy, no sound...BTW, I'm using the latest BIOS from Dell 2.4.0

Well, I have been playing with Jaunty also since alpha 5 also and making myself a member of those groups stopped my sound from lagging and dropping out, especially when using combined sinks and when using pulse with jackd on a generic kernel.
Depending on what else you are doing, pulse can fail to reload the alsa buffer in time to prevent dropouts if it is not able to gain high enough nice priority with the kernels Ubuntu is using.
P.S.I do not do distro upgrades, only clean installs.
Re: Jaunty 9.04 Sound Solutions
Since this was just moved here from the closed Jaunty testing forum I figured it could use a bump so more people will see it. Please post if this does not work for you. Basic troubleshooting guide should still work. If you are haivng basic sound problems please go here

Re: Jaunty 9.04 Sound Solutions
I loaded Jaunty onto a new HP 6730s and was only getting sound from the headphone jack, not the internal speakers. Very frustrating.
This, however, solved my problem:
Added the line:
Code:
options snd-hda-intel model=laptop enable=1 index=0
to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
Now I have working sound through speakers and headphones.

Good catch. Thanks jeppo. I have that same laptop but haven't installed jaunty on it just yet. I suspect I'll be trying this over the weekend.

I was really hoping this would solve my problem, but alas it was a no go. I'm experiencing the same thing with my HP dv5z laptop and it's really getting on my nerves. 8.10 worked just fine...
Here's my stuff if anyone is willing to lend me a hand:

I upgraded to jaunty and didn't do a fresh install and experienced other conflicts that I've already resolved but this is the only problem that remains. If I must I will do a fresh install over the weekend when I find the time.

Re: Jaunty 9.04 Sound Solutions
My Gateway P-6860FX also lost speaker sound after upgrading from intrepid. However, if I boot into the previous kernel 2.6.27-11, both speakers and headphones work perfectly. I've tried all kinds of fixes from editing alsa-base.conf to reinstalling alsa drivers without any luck. Maybe the problem lies in the 2.6.28 kernel upgrade from intrepid to jaunty. Any thoughts?

I use a USB sound card connected to a 5.1 speaker system, its a Creative Sound Blaster Live 24bit.
Any suggestions?
I kill Pulseaudio to get all sounds to work ....No idea why it works though
Re: Jaunty 9.04 Sound Solutions
Thank you. My microphone hasn't worked since the first time I put Ubuntu on - 7.04 I believe. Following your instructions, I'm now able to record audio, albeit with an annoying hiss in the background.
