[Bug 773443] Re: [natty] pulseaudio stopped working on ThinkPad T61
This is a very muddled bug, and I'm sorry about that. Perhaps it should be just closed. I haven't seen the "Failed to create sink input: too many inputs per sink." issue since I last mentioned it here. (Nor have I seen the "volume keys stop working" issue. I *have* seen the "youtube videos play without sound" one a few times, but I think I'll go file a separate bug report about that. Also, I've seen a "pulseaudio dies with no reason mentioned in syslog, and then restarts automatically -- which makes Skype *very* unhappy" issue that I hadn't mentioned before, also fodder for a separate bug.) The init "bug" doesn't seem to have any negative consequences, other than logspam. I've no idea what the "ThinkPadEC audio driver" is... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773443 Title: [natty] pulseaudio stopped working on ThinkPad T61 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/773443/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 773443] Re: [natty] pulseaudio stopped working on ThinkPad T61
It appears as if there are at least two separate causes here - at least for 11.04. There's a suspend (pm-utils) bug that we just fixed in 11.10 and seems worth backporting to 11.04. You all can help verify whether it's related by reproducing the symptom in this bug report from clean boots, i.e., without suspend+resume cycles involved. Finally, there is a PA card init "bug," it seems, though I'm hesitant to blacklist the "ThinkPadEC audio driver". We very well may?should? support its features at the input layer, but since that hasn't arrived at the ALSA layer yet, we can't do much. Further, it doesn't make much sense to support it as a sink or source... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773443 Title: [natty] pulseaudio stopped working on ThinkPad T61 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/773443/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 773443] Re: [natty] pulseaudio stopped working on ThinkPad T61
All right, let me start from the beginning. Since the upgrade to Natty, I've been experiencing various sound-related problems: * sometimes a youtube video suddenly plays without sound, but a simple manual seek makes the problem go away * sometimes volume keys stop working -- although sound plays fine (apparently pulseaudio dies and the applications fall back to alsa when they can't connect to pulse) * sometimes sound stops playing working, although pulseaudio is running and volume keys work fine I intended to focus on that last problem with this bug. When that happens, restarting pulseaudio fixes the issue. At first when I manually tried killall pulseaudio && pulseaudio in an xterm, I saw the error messages about "cannot find a working alsa profile" I mentioned about, and I *incorrectly* assumed that meant PA wasn't working any more -- I didn't even try playing a sound. I was wrong. PA always outputs that error on startup, and then sound works fine. So let's ignore that error and try to figure out why PA stops working after a long(ish) time. Today PA stopped outputting sound again, e.g. $ mplayer -ao pulse samplefile.mp3 AO: [pulse] Init failed: Too large Failed to initialize audio driver 'pulse' Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.

[Bug 773443] Re: [natty] pulseaudio stopped working on ThinkPad T61
I think I am suffering from the same problem on my Thinkpad T61p. Pulseaudio is complaining with the same messages, but I have some additional problems, maybe related: 1. S/PDIF (iec958) output has little (but annoying) clipping sound after each boot. solved by muting and unmuting in alsamixer. 2. Whenever a KDE program like Kopete tries to output sound at the same time as another program (Flash in Chromium for example) a notification pops up: "The audio device Intel HDA [...] has failed [...]" and I have no sound in Kopete. 3. Very irregularly I am unable to output any sound through S/PDIF output. I've checked *all* mixer settings with alsamixer and pulseaudio tools. Only switching to analogue gives me sound. After a reboot everything is working fine. I am selecting the outputs from "Sound Preferences", in "Settings for the selected device", "Profile:". When testing the speakers in there I get no sound when issue (3.) occurs. All worked well in Maverick, didn't have any of the above issues. Using Ubuntu Natty in "Classic mode" (GNOME 2). Could it be that thinkpad-acpi stuff might be involved in the cause of all this? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773443 Title: [natty] pulseaudio stopped working on ThinkPad T61 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 773443] Re: [natty] pulseaudio stopped working on ThinkPad T61
It happened again: sound doesn't play, killall pulseaudio doesn't help (even repeated), /var/log/syslog mentions "E: module-alsa-card.c: Failed to find a working profile". I've produced a verbose log according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log. Unfortunately sound actually started worked when I ran pulseaudio -, after disabling autospawn... The verbose log contains the same errors, which now appear to be a red herring, unrelated to my occasional audio problems. I'm attaching it just in case, anyway. ** Attachment added: "pulseverbose.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/773443/+attachment/2127425/+files/pulseverbose.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773443 Title: [natty] pulseaudio stopped working on ThinkPad T61 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'd be glad to, as soon as I figure out step 3 ("Do what you need to
reproduce the bug"). So far the bug hasn't recurred.
