[Bug 122492] Sound doesn't work on two plus sessions

[Ryan Gordon]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kubuntu-desktop

I have both ubuntu and kubuntu installed on my computer. I log into
ubuntu, mute the music, and then switch sessions. I then log into a
kubuntu session and unmuted the volume if it wasn't already unmuted. I
then tryed to play some music - nothing happened. No sound what so ever.
Solution: Log out of kubuntu, log back into my ubuntu session, unmute
the volume, re login to kubuntu and it worked fine. I'm not a programmer
for the language KDE/Ubuntu uses, but I think it narrows down to one of
two possible problems: 1) Kubuntu is unable to obtain access to the
sound driver to flip the option off because the ubuntu session switch
may have not released the lock on the sound driver (but what do I know?)
or 2) The sound drivers will only work when both are unmuted (so then it
may be a driver problem?)

Anyway, just wanted to report this weird behavior. I definitely want to
see the linux platform grow!
