Suggestion on post #27 by Letik (martin-96-59) incluning the : options snd-hda-intel enable=0,1,0
on file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf works for me too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310260 Title: Pulseaudio fails to detect card (probably due to hybrid graphics) Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Hi, I wanted to install Trusty on my Elitebook 850 G1 with hybrid graphics (Intel / AMD) but pulseaudio goes nuts on me as soon as I try to play any music / sound, try to change volume, etc. I've tried it with Ubuntu, Kubuntu and now with Xubuntu with the same result everytime. My guess is that pulseaudio has problems with the AMD GPU and it's sound processor being switched off automatically as enabled by Kernel 3.13 (formerly achieved by adding the radeon.runpm=1 kernel parameter) (http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2013-September/045650.html) root@HP-EliteBook-850-G1:~# cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch 0:IGD:+:Pwr:0000:00:02.0 1:DIS: :DynOff:0000:03:00.0 2:DIS-Audio: :Off:0000:03:00.1 As you can see, the AMD GPU has been turned off automatically. Pulseaudio, the (X)Ubuntu volume applet and KMix on the other hand list it as still available. Based on that I asume pulseaudio tries to access a switched-off device and fails. I've followed the steps listed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems and here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log I'll attach the logs right away. (pulseverbose1.log and my dmesg output) Pusleverbose is full of messages like this one: ( 0.013| 0.000) I: [pulseaudio] alsa-util.c: Error opening PCM device hw:0: No such file or directory This output of dmesg also caught my attention: [ 354.927935] HDMI ATI/AMD: no speaker allocation for ELD [ 357.695010] hda-intel 0000:03:00.1: Disabling via VGA-switcheroo One thing I noticed using Kubuntu is that after pulseaudio becomes unresponsive the taskmanager lists 4 pulseaudio processes two of which are "active on harddrive" ("Aktiv auf Festplatte"). Those two processes cannot be killed even as root. Currently being on Xubuntu the same thing is true, although it lists only one process in the taskmanager that cannot be killed. I hope you can help me.
