Hello,
I have upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 today and have a problem now: Sound isn't working anymore (both in Gnome and KDE). Changing the audio settings doesn't have any effect.
I am using an Asus P5QL Pro motherboard, sound is on board. Who can help ...?
Thanks a lot!

Did you look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 ?
That might help isolate where the problem is.

Hi. Had the same problem. It's been solved by following the instruccions on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578

$ sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins padevchooser libao2 libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio

Im having a similiar problem but even after following that guidline I get nothing. I keep getting an error from pulseaudio saying "Connection Failed: Connection Terminated"
It seems to have been installed but I cant get any sound out of my computer.
I have just installed 9.04 (reinstall rather than upgrade)

Thank you all very much! Pulseaudio brought sound back to my computer! The volume seems to be a bit lower than before but it works now.
To sb360: In my case using Benjamin's command line
$ sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins padevchooser libao2 libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio
made the big difference. (Note that it 's different from the command line shown on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578) Maybe it helps you run your sound card too.
Thanks again!

pulseaudio & pavucontrol
I get this

Nope I did that and it seemed to complete fine but still no sound.
When I enter pulseaudio & pavucontrol I get this

Then the control panel opens for a few seconds and then dies with the connection failed: connection terminated message again

I have no idea why, but I ran this
pkill pulseaudio; sleep 2; pulseaudio -vv
just to get info on pulse audio, and afterwards, everything worked. (Yes, I had restarted multiple times before.) Actually, after I did that, I had sound, but it was very quiet. I had to run alsamixer and turn everything back up.
Weird, weird Ubuntu.

I am tempted to upgrade to Ubuntu Studio 9.04.
I recall that it took ages to tweak the sound on the initial setup; I'm running M-Audio Delta 44. Jack was a pain to get right too.
Is there any way I can get a snapshot image of my audio/video etc settings, like a backed up registry? That is, so I could just tell my system to search said folder and assign the settings as before.
Also, on a more practical note; is it worth upgrading at all (other than the eventual lack of support for v8.10)?
Thanks.
