[Bug 1547585] Re: Pulseaudio stopped working but sound still works at the low level (can be controlled with alsamixer)
H... ok. I didn't realize there was a second pulseaudio config. I have no idea how it got there, nor where it came from, and I do not recall ever setting it, but sure enough: ### Make some devices default #set-default-sink output set-default-source 2 set-source-mute 2 0 So this is likely cruft left over from an older version... to build this machine, I did a fresh Xenial install and then installed a backup of /home/$USER via rsync. However, I do not ever remember configuring this file at any point in the past, AND this worked just fine in Trusty, and also worked fine in Xenial until it stopped working, then it started working, then it stopped working. Is there some sort of race condition where ~/.pulse/default.pa may or may not be the default.pa Pulse uses? Anyway, I'm removing the file and restarting to see what happens. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1547585 Title: Pulseaudio stopped working but sound still works at the low level (can be controlled with alsamixer) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1547585/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

et viola, it's working. Still, no idea where that second, edited version came from :/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1547585 Title: Pulseaudio stopped working but sound still works at the low level (can be controlled with alsamixer) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1547585/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1547585] Re: Pulseaudio stopped working but sound still works at the low level (can be controlled with alsamixer)
Hmm, but the log shows exactly what happens if someone changes the last lines of /etc/pulse/default.pa from the below (this is the original): ### Make some devices default #set-default-sink output #set-default-source input to this: ### Make some devices default #set-default-sink output set-default-source 2 ...notice how they should be commented out by default. Or if it loads a copy of default.pa in ~/.config/pulse or ~/.pulse where this change has been done? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1547585 Title: Pulseaudio stopped working but sound still works at the low level (can be controlled with alsamixer) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1547585/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

You haven't changed any configuration files (e g such as /etc/pulse/default.pa ) so they now reference a hard-coded "source #2", have you? If not, could you reproduce this with a higher log level (e g by following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log ) and see if you get more information out of this error?
