One thing to try:  Check in your System => Preferences => Personal =>
Sessions applet, and add the following:

Name: PulseAudio Session Management
Command: pactl load-module module-x11-xsmp
Comment: Load module-x11-xsmp into PulseAudio

Please let us know if this works so we can add it to the UpgradeFaq.
(Or add it yourself for bonus points!)
