Sound fix for xubuntu?

[wirechief]

I started compiz in a terminal and immediately got a message that my
graphics was blacklisted,
and then my keyboard locked up and i was unable to finish this reply.
i attached my dri_debug.gz
files to the launchpad but this is starting to really get old, I was
only curious if compiz was running.
evidently not. it would seem by this time they have enough information
to swat this thing and be done
with it.
