Waiting for sound system to respond
Problem
When you have Ubuntu 10.04, and you login as root, you cannot change the sound volume or settings with the sound applet in the gnome-panel.
Solution
Go to System->Preferences -> Startup Applications
Make sure you’re in the tab ‘Startup programs’
-> Click on ‘Add’
Name: Pulseaudio daemon
Command:/usr/bin/pulseaudio
Comment: Start the sound daemon
Now logout, then login again
