I associated my audio problems with Totem, because that's where they first appeared, after an update. However, I have no sound at all when I boot using the current defaults.
In Sound Preferences Panel, testing sound playback for Sound Events and for Music and Movies fails no matter what option is selected: Autodetect: "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument" ALSA: "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback." ESD: no result---"testing pipeline" keeps testing indefinitely, unresponsive to "OK", Window will not close, had to force quit. OSS: "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback." PulseAudio Sound Server: "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument" The reason? Someone (not me, I presume as part of a recent update) has changed my system so that it boots kernel 2.6.24.19-server. When I boot with 2.6.24.19-generic all the problems disappear, except that volume control refuses to control volume--- I can mute, but not adjust---it's all or nothing. -- "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
