Sound Doesn’t Work Kubuntu 9.10 with PulseAudio

It seems like every time I upgrade Kubuntu, my sound doesn’t work anymore. I guess “doesn’t work” isn’t the right term. It seems that the output is muted. If I type pavucontrol into the command line and then go to output devices on the volume control window that pops up, the Internal Audio Analog Stereo is muted. I don’t know why the pulse audio volume control is defaulting to that setting every time I upgrade, but I fiddled around with my sound settings a couple of years ago when I was having issues and that’s likely the culprit. I think I need to do a fresh install one of these days….
