Comment 15 for bug 316430

I'm getting a situation where the login sounds play, but the GNOME mixer seems to think there's no output devices and similarly I get no sound in things like the Movie Player.

The usual suspects look like this:
$ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                      HDA Intel at 0xfe9fc000 irq 21
$ lspci | grep -i audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)
