This of course assumes that the versions of PA used in every Ubuntu release since its introduction have remained static, which is quite far from the case. > are errors in the driver, that would mean that the windows versions have > the same "errors in the drivers that made it *appear* to work fine" Some things really are difficult to stomach. The fact of the matter is that PulseAudio requires the audio driver to be much more precise, and the traditional mode used by other OSes and previous versions of Ubuntu had no such requirement.

There HAS to be a common denominator here Dan, At the command prompt, "amixer > somefile.txt" for each scenario that I described. Attach the somefile.txt files, namedly appropriately, to the bug report. Of course I'm not expecting you do run around collecting this information from all your computers, but I do expect you to realize that this is the first step in debugging. Also, and I apologize for not making this clear earlier, but what do you mean by "sound quality has been so bad"? Are you referring to stuttering? Pops? Static? Overdriven sound? Some of those symptoms having very different causes, and the phrasing you used is utterly ambiguous. > How do I get an amixer output to report ? and how do I kill autospawn ? I explained the amixer steps above and in a previous response.
