Karmic Alpha3 64bit solved this for me.
The livecd installer, and the first boot into the newly installed
desktop, had the customary stuttering and repeating, but an update of
all pending packages + a reboot and the login sound was perfect.
All subsequent sounds are fine also. This is on a HP Pavilion dv4
