Problems I've had, and "solutions" :- I run XUbuntu (upgraded to Intrepid) on my desktop PC, and a fresh Ubuntu Intrepid with gnome on my notebook. I've had problems on both machines with audio (and video too). (note: since hardy and intrepid releases, not recent update) On the PC... I had problems way back when upgrading to Hardy; That was due to the new PulseAudio system that came in since that release, and alsa drivers that weren't playing nice with my hardware (driver: snd_intel8x0 | hardware: nVidia nForce2 AC97) The imperfect solution in hardy was to rip out pulse, and twist everything into using ALSA directly. After the upgrade to Intrepid it happened again, and I had to go through all that again. Sound performance in Intrepid is worse than before Hardy (audacious & listen doesn't play anything (it could in hardy), I'm using VLC with it's sucky playlist now -- but that may have something to do with the gstreamer codecs... ??!). And for some reason Video gets choppy in fullscreen; If I remember, this was not the case before taking out PulseAudio. On the notebook... Everything seemed to work better on a fresh install; then again, it may be 'cause it's different hardware. I occasionally lose sound on the notebook, or it starts behaving inconsistenly. I'm developing a game with sound so that might be the reason; it maight also happen after resuming the notebook from standby. Video flickers when using the Compiz effects, but not when they're disabled (darn). I've been able to fix/reset sound by restarting X (Ctrl+alt+backspace).
