Public bug reported:

Hello,
I am having trouble with my sound drivers. The whole thing started with the 
kernel update to linux-image-3.2.0-31-generic 3.2.0-31.50 (see 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1059521). 
First, I got things working with one user: 
mplayer -ao openal *.mp3

Then when switching to an admin account (with sudo privileges), I can't play 
sound normally, which worked after the initial buginess started, but has also 
now stopped working. The same command above works no longer works for the admin 
user.
I have also played with the 'alsamixer' with the admin account. 
It tells me:
$ alsamixer 
cannot open mixer: No such file or directory

The same is no problem for the other non-admin user. Both users are part
of the group 'audio'.

Somehow it appears to be a hardware problem, but at the same time the
permissions somehow are strange as well i.e. the difference between
users.

I appreciate any help.

Brian
