Confirmed on my HP Pavilion dv9830 laptop. Symbolic link in /etc/rcS.d/ is missing. Be sure to check inside /etc/init.d/alsa-utils for the correct filename to use for the link (the comments near the top of the file will give you instructions on how to remove the autosave/autoload features, so just kinda follow it in reverse). When I created a symlink in /etc/rcS.d/ , everything worked again.
The fact that audio seems to be muted in the first place appears to be a regression of the bug that afflicted Hardy Heron. -- [Jaunty] Sound card outputs start muted after recent updates to use pulseaudio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
