I'm experiencing the problem to. I think killing pulseaudio just force Gnome to switch to ALSA.... :\
The sound is working fine before logging in (but at this time pulseaudio is not running yet, so I guess this sound is played with ALSA, correct ?). After logging in in Gnome, trying to play a sound file from a terminal doesn't work either : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ paplay Audio.wav Stream errror: Invalid argument Trying to figure out what's going wrong I grab those messages in my /var/log/syslog logfile : May 2 21:15:15 Hardy pulseaudio[6494]: alsa-util.c: Device hw:0 doesn't support 2 channels, changed to 10.
