If you think this then uninstall pulseaudio - use Mark for Removal, and 
not Completer Removal. If there is no difference then re-install 
pulseaudio. (Note that removing pulse you will lose the volume icon on 
the top panel; there is a way to bring it back after you re-install 
pulse, if you do re-install it, but the easiest way as far as I am 
concerned is to: ALT-F2 and execute 'gnome-volume-control' when you do 
need to see the volume controls.)
