Yesterday I upgraded to Ubuntu Jaunty, and I’m suffering (again!) sound problems with Pulseaudio. This is frustraing, at best, because I needed some time to research and fix the same problem with Intrepid (previous release).
Now seems the fix I used for Intrepid (tweaking damon.conf file to have my laptop play music without annoying noises) isn’t working with Jaunty, so I must start researching again (or don’t listen to music… or uninstall the damn Pulseaudio thing).
I’ve used Pulseaudio features since it worked 100%, I like the idea behind it, but I think it’s a very big issue that Ubuntu fails on sound every release because of this.
Dear Ubuntu fellas: please, don’t make it default until it works out of the box on most hardware out there.
Update: there’s a bug report.
