If you do, the settings in XBMC have to change accordingly (HDMI = hdmi, S/PDIF = iec958) Apparently PulseAudio and ALSA drivers conflict - which will lead to NO sound in XBMC; Start by removing PulseAudio sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio; Now purge all remaining PulseAudio files from the system

Removing pulseaudio and using ALSA instead helped me (on 12.10, but should work on 12.04 too) sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-tools alsa-tools-gui alsa-utils alsa-oss linux-`sound-base alsamixergui` sudo apt-get install esound esound-clients esound-common libesd-alsa0 gnome-alsamixer
