Hello, I sooner or later end up with no sounds, IF, I am using the normal startup with entering the login name and password. However IF, I select auto logon (bypassing the login name and password entering windows) I have no issues with sound. I have had to do this with the past few versions of both UBUNTU and Ultimate Edition. It seemed like that login process took over the sound and won't release it. When I tried to listen to any songs in any program I would get an error message stating (more or less) that "alsa" was busy and not available. This may not be your issue but it can't hurt to try auto login.
