I had a similar crash with the same assertion fail when changing volume with pavucontrol.
I removed ~/.pulse/ and haven't had the same problem anymore. As always, you should still make a backup before deleting that directory. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1267234 Title: Assertion 'de = pa_hashmap_get(u->dbus_entries, name)' failed at modules/module-stream-restore.c:1400, function subscribe_callback(). Aborting. Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 and "pulseaudio4.0ubuntu6". The problem is when I try the change the volume from player pulseaudio gives out an error dialog, an error information in log file and aborts itself. Then player stops playing, after I play the song again it plays but the volume slider becomes uneffective. This happens on every player. Note: Before I upgrade Ubuntu 12.04 into 13.10, I had no problems with PulseAudio. Note 2: In the log, I used Tomahawk for reproduce the problem and it give out same result of Rhythmbox and other ones. But when I use ALSA there is no problem with any of them. This is really annoying me.
