I hate to start another "no sound" thread, but none of the others seem to match what happening to me.
I have a desktop machine, fairly basic, which I use as a jukebox. I was running a fairly simnple Jaunty 9.04 installation on it with absolutely no problems.
Recently, I upgraded to 9.10, and ever since then, I have no sound. Now, given that this machine's entire purpose is to play music constantly, I find this to be just a tad annoying.
When I restart the machine, I do hear the drums of the system ready sound, and if I flub my password, I hear the error sound, so gdm is using the sound system successfully, but I get no system sounds or application sound.
The particularly annoying thing is that I can find no symptoms other than the basic lack of sound. The soundcard has been detected and seems to be working:
Code:
me@juke:~$ aplay -l

I have checked in alsa-mixer, and nothing is muted or turned down

If I load up pacontrol, I see Rhythmbox in the playback tab, and the level meter shows it playing sound. I also see the level meter working away under the Output Devices tab.
I've tried alsa force-reloads
Code:
sudo alsa force-reload

No change whatsoever.
Any ideas for how to fix this?
