Thanks to the work of David Henningsson, we now have a proper Apport symptom for audio bugs. It just got updated again to set default bug titles, which include the card/codec name and the problem, so that Launchpad’s suggested duplicates should work much more reliably.
So from now on you are strongly encouraged to report sound problems with
$ ubuntu-bug audio
instead of trying to guess the package right.

Got no time to properly report a bug, so I’m dumping my traceback here: .
It occured when I tested it with saying that my surround speakers don’t work, that the affected device is HDA Nvidia and that I do have GNOME Pulseaudio Volumecontrol installed and in use.

Sorry Sense, a bug report in my blog has just about zero visibility.

good idea as “audio” is a permanent pain every time a new distro is coming up. Push this idea to other painfull subject like “video”, “scan”, “network”, “print”, …
Too much bug-reports are wrongly declare as “duplicate” even if we talk about different distros but same named packages: new dependencies, new settings or even new hardwares.
