Affects me too. Ubuntu 12.10, 64 bit, Gnome Shell 3.6. It happened right after installation in Unity, then started working when I installed and switched to Gnome Shell. Today, I found the Sound Settings are broken again.
Same behaviour as for Def Sum. Crashes immediately after clicking on it. Works when I unplug my USB card, but shows no card installed (only a dummy device). I tried fore-reloading alsa and plugging the USB card back in, but then it crashes again. Any help would be highly appreciated. I really really want to configure my sound settings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1067700 Title: Sound Settings crashes when USB audio mixer selected as input Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This bug is a regression, I think; I was having this same problem before upgrading to 12.10, then installed a patched version of some file (can't remember which, and can't find the old bug report, sadly). Now with the upgrade, when opening Sound Settings and selecting my Alesis Multimix USB mixer, the dialog crashes with the following in syslog: gnome-control-c[4009]: segfault at 7fffa3efcd48 ip 00007f56af59e9f2 sp 00007fffa3efcc10 error 6 in libc-2.15.so[7f56af556000+1b5000] If I try setting the mixer as default use pacmd, Sound Settings crashes on opening.
