Comment 25 for bug 644644

I do not know if it's related, but if I choose "sound preference" on the volume applet I get a windows that says "Waiting for sound system to respond" forever. The volume was really low until I fired alsamixer in a terminal and put all the slides to 100%.

Hmmm. Sound system is one of the dark spot of Linux, in general. I had a lot of headache with it. Will send my configuration with apport, as soon as I find the trick to do it.
