Good, that makes it not-Sugar. Get it fixed on Workstation is your best bet.
I've seen this kind of thing happen with laptops that have HDMI output capability. Audio is being clocked out a disconnected port. Sugar predates PulseAudio. Sugar has no support for anything other than ALSA. An opportunity. GStreamer as used by Speak will use PulseAudio if available.
