I removed pulseaudio with `sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio; sudo apt-get install alsa-oss gnome-alsamixer`. The removal of pulseaudio is not officially supported by Ubuntu (it also removes the ubuntu-desktop package). It did remove the sound preferences as well, which is why I had to install gnome-alsamixer. For this reason I would not recommend removing pulseaudio for anything other than for debugging sound issues.
I'm currently using Gnome Shell, but I had the exact same issue in Unity and Unity 2D which I've used in the past. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1075489 Title: Breaks in audio To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1075489/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
