Same problem here.
Had a working Feisty install on a Dell Inspiron 6000, upgraded to Gusty == No sound I have tried installing pulseaudio-esound-compat but it did not fix the issue. When I run the test in Preferences -> Sound I hear no sound and get no error regardless of which device I select. NB. I dont get the error in the subject. Device options available are : Autodetect, Intel ICH6, Intel ICH6-IEC958, ALSA, ESD, OSS. My sound works fine when booting to other os's. config details as follows.
