[Update] Right now, my solution is to killall pulseaudio right after I login, and run pulseaudio again.
Observe that Bill is probably using aplay, play or sox to play sound files in the comment above. That will work, since regular ALSA is always working. esdplay or paplay actually play the sound file through PulseAudio. So I added the following script to my Session startup programs: #!/bin/bash # fix por PulseAudio auto-start broken sleep 15 killall pulseaudio sleep 5 pulseaudio& sleep 5 paplay /usr/lib/openoffice/share/gallery/sounds/space.wav -- "Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191027 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
