** Description changed: Ubuntu 10.04 Many applications and games have sound issues as default, such as no sound, jerky sound or freezes because of sound issues. Here are some applications that refused to work on my machine: Assault Cube NeverBall NeverPutt Supertux 1 and 2 Vdrift (can also crash because of this issue) FlightGear SuperTuxKart and many more. I only found out the reason when running FlightGear it came up and said No OSS driver installed. But I don't use OSS! So I searched around the net and found that if you create a file in the home directory of the user eg. (/home/andy/) called '.alsoftrc' and then put inside 'drivers = alsa' all the issues become fixed! I now don't have any sound issues on machine at all whereas many applications used to not work. Surely this can be easily fixed for a release and save many users loads of time. Also I guess that if you change the value you can choose which driver to use. I have included the file as an attachment.
