I had the same problem with 5 different computers (netbooks to stationary) in Jaunty. With pulseaudio the sound was either muted or PCM was set to 0. The only solution that worked was to uninstall pulseaudio completely. That worked, and I didn't see any programs having problems without the pulseaudio. I don't know the point of pulseaudio, but as it keeps coming back like a bad nightmare in Ubuntu Karmic (which I'm testing on one of the computers currently), it would be nice if one could manage to fix the pulseaudio so that it works out of the box.
