[Bug 332631] Re: pulseaudio errors, sound/audio bugs

[scotty2]

Still seems to persist, but not as much of an issue now. Originally,
when I installed the OS, I would finish up and reboot, and the speakers
would screetch at me until I slid the volume slider down a bit. At that
point, everything would work fine, aside from seeing that error show up
during boot and consistently in logs. I noticed that after loading
Ubuntu, the default volume level would be about 70-80%, and once I
turned it down to maybe 50-60% it would be fine. I don't recall it
causing any other real issues.

I still think that it is mainly due to the NVidia audio BIOS. While I do
have driver disks, etc that have linux drivers, I have never been able
to install these myself. I would be willing to pass any of that info
along if it would help any developers. The current errors I see are at
the end of the log and are included below. Same messages but so far
haven't heard or noticed any real sound problems.
