I've been reading with interest the problems with PulseAudio since F12 came out, and I find myself in a similar situation (none of the previously offered solutions seem to have helped). First, the vitals: Dell Dimension E521 Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Running KDE 4.3.5 Running F12 2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.x86_64, fully updated as of this moment (according to yum).

Restarting/relogging in sometimes resets it, but not always. Any suggestions as to what I can try, or what additional information I can post that might help to diagnose this? I'm at a loss.
