    scattered problems with sound

    My system is very inconsistent with sound. Amarok produces no sound; Luk produces no
    sound; Banchee works fine.
    The java app http://files.gokgs.com/javaBin/cgoban.jnlp sound features only work part time. in that some
    sound features work and others do not. That could be java mind you.
    After all of this time sound is STILL painful.

    Anybody else experiencing these problems?
    Thank you for your time

    another little bug. Playback devices does not remember the sound setting on login. Yes "Restore volumes on login" is checked.

    OK here you go:
    Linux version 2.6.38-8-generic (buildd@allspice) (gcc version 4.5.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-8ubuntu3) ) #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:24 UTC 2011 (Ubuntu 2.6.38-8.42-generic 2.6.38.2)

    Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. GA-880GM-D2H/GA-880GM-D2H, BIOS F6 08/31/2010
    (Realtek ALC888B codec)

    an interesting error message in the log -
    3.465185] [drm] Enabling audio support
    [ 3.465193] failed to evaluate ATIF got AE_BAD_PARAMETER
    but I am not sure they are connected

    However if Banchee works why or how do Luk & Amarok not work. They must be
    using different features.
    Are they really using different features? If so why?
    which set of features are the (correct|suggested) ones?

    It would be interesting to find out if others have a problem like this. I.E.
    does only a subset of (Banchee|Luk|Amarok) work for you?
    Thank you again.

    It would be helpful if you tell us about your system, specifically (for this issue) the sound card/chip set you are using.
    Windows no longer obstructs my view.

      A general tip, there are two main sound systems around, Alsa and Pulse Audio.
      For both there are 'Master Controllers', installing and adjusting (one of) them might help:
      Pavucontrol and alsamixergui are the names of the packages.
