Well, I'm not saying whether this is the correct fix or not. All I can 
say is
that it worked here for me. I messed around for a couple of days with my 
wife
and kids tapping their feet waiting for their Myth experience to return. I
Googled and read a ton of stuff and got the impression that it is mainly 
the
Ubuntu - Myth - Pulse combination that doesn't work. So I removed it using
the Synaptic Package manager. I figured it would be simple to reinstall the
same way in case anything went wrong. After that I had sound.
