["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Alistair Buxton, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily kernel folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12-rc2

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Main sound mixer mutes automatically every few seconds

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Summary says it all. Every few seconds the main sound mixer and most
  of the others mute on their own (with no user input.) This makes sound
  unusable. Unmuting the mixers makes sound come back for about 1 second
  then they mute again. The only way to fix the problem is to reboot.
  Until the next time it happens.

  This problem happens with all the following alsa modules versions:
  2.6.31 (ie all ubuntu karmic kernels)
  2.6.32 (ie all ubuntu lucid kernels so far)
  Current linux-backports-modules-headers-lucid-generic

  But it does not happen with 2.6.33 upstream kernels.
