If you could test the version from testing it would be great to
confirm, but lets try to debug the problem.

Could you please post the output of the following commands?

pulseaudio -v -v -v
groups (this is to see if you are in the audio group)
ls -l /dev/snd
cat /etc/default/pulseaudio

Also, does that system have multiple users?
