Binary package hint: pulseaudio
On HP 6730b, got no sound output from any application.
Turns out that the PCM channel on the hardware mixer was set to zero / muted, and none of the standard knobs on the Gnome desktop could adjust it.
Fixed on my box with "alsamixer -c 0", although I guess not every new user will immediately jump on that one.
This is tested on Jaunty.
