Hi! I also have problems with my sound in Ubuntu, and it's just barely noticeable but still a bit annoying. The sound is allover bad, like the MP3 had bad sound, but i've tried every bit rate and videos, and also different programs, but it's the same problem, so I guess it's the driver.
I'm running ubuntu 8.10 (multi-booting) on a HP Pavilion dv6500 and the sound works perfectly in Windows Vista.
As I wrote, the sound sounds like the Mp3 is in a low bit rate, or inside a tin can, or like my speakers are old, and I'm guessing that it's not stereo, and it sounds like it's seriously missing some bass. Other than that, speech is almost better (when i watch movies), so it might be a problem with preferences somewhere? equalizer somewhere? i tried different programs so it's not one program's equalizer at least...
this is what i found when I did a "lspci -v":
00:07.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP67 High Definition Audio (rev a1)

Anyone have any ideas? thanks!
