I can go to Applications>Sound and Video>Pulse Audio Device Chooser and start pulse audio without any problems. VLC, Rythmbox, and Movie Player have no issues playing sound. So far I have to plug in my ear phones before booting Ubuntu in order for sound to not play through both my ear phones and the speakers.

Then an information window pops up telling me that the Connection failed: Connection terminated. This is not the orginal fault that I have received. I have also received an error that said something like "CPU overload".
I am sure that this issue has been brought up before and I am sorry but I have spent days and days looking at post after post. I am very new to linux and Ubuntu. The last time I tried anything like this I installed Kubuntu and ended up having to reinstall windows (I hate windows). I have so far had a very good experience with Ubuntu and would love to get everything in working order. I am currently deployed in Iraq and any help you give me will be greatly appreciated. I would really like to get my audio working so I can skype with my wife!
