I would add that I have purged pulseaudio. However, when I try to delete the ".pulse" directory it simply reappears. It's very strange. I don't have a chance to reboot to see if it works because it reappears too quickly.

i too was having the same problem when loggong into my defaut user, and after trying a million different things i found this thread, and i am glad i did! i too went into the home folder, viewed hidden files, and deleted ".pulse" and restarted. the problem seems to be completely solved and the .pulse folder is back where it was before i deleted it. thank you for the help. thanks everybody. i LOVE ubuntu... had this been a Windows problem they likely would have tried to con us into buying something.
thanks I screw something in it too
and got that message that couldn't get repaired back
but as I deleted hardware wasn't as it should be so ( luckily I backed up files ) files that needed to be deleted were:
70c36bbaf3b9fb67504ec28b4ce2dc1c-default-sink
70c36bbaf3b9fb67504ec28b4ce2dc1c-default-source
70c36bbaf3b9fb67504ec28b4ce2dc1c-stream-volumes.tdb
other files were from equaliser and others I don't know this files reproduce itself again very fast so deleting this files isn't that bas I just think so not
if it helps anyone
thanks for helpers --> (delete .pulse)

Sorry dudes im using 10.10 but when I delete that folder it suddenly reappears. I purged pulseaudio, should I do something like "sudo apt-get uninstall pulseaudio"? Or what? I followed the "Decently removing pulse" guide but the folder still reappears. Thanks
Wow! From May 2010 to March 2011 and we are still having trouble with something as fundamental as sound. That problem fell on me out of the clear blue sky, (if you don't count doing updates as something that would screw up a supposedly bullet proof operating system). I could hear audio on You Tube one day and zip the next, plus my display kept going gray and would not respond to mouse clicks. I followed the suggestion to add to the startup programs as shown early in this seed but it did not work. Then I followed the suggestion to delete .pulse and things were back to normal after I got into Sound Preferences and redid the settings that had gone off into la-la land. Mark one down for Ubuntu, mark one up for the Forums.
Same issue. The trouble started after moving my home folder from a 10.04 box to a 10.10 install. Renaming ~/.pulse and rebooting worked for me. I suspect a reboot is not necessary, but I had to reboot anyway...
Using Ubuntu 10.10
Purging/deleting the .pulse folder from my home directory did the job.
