Title:
Cannot connect to pulseaudio
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
What I expect to happen: audio working like in Ubuntu 14.04
What is happening: programs cannot connect to pulseaudio server, the
server itself isn't crashing. For example, pavuctl hangs on
"connecting to pulseaudio", and all media applications are doing the
same. It sometimes happens that one application (which opened
connection to PA earlier) is still playing but new ones can't connect.
pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio
fixes this issue temporarly, until the next time it happens. The
problem occurs multiple times per session.
This is happening on 2 systems, one is not my own - a clean xubuntu
16.04 install - and the other is my own, where I tried various tweaks
to default.pa to fix the problem. None worked. This happens with a
clean default.pa too. I also tried installing oem-audio-hda-daily-lts-
xenial-dkms and that did not help either.
The errors reported in pulseaudio stderr are as following:
E: [alsa-sink-ALC892 Analog] alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data
to the device, but there was actually nothing to write.
E: [alsa-sink-ALC892 Analog] alsa-sink.c: Most likely this is a bug in the
ALSA driver 'snd_hda_intel'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers.
E: [alsa-sink-ALC892 Analog] alsa-sink.c: We were woken up with POLLOUT set
-- however a subsequent snd_pcm_avail() returned 0 or another value < min_avail.
