I have the same problem. After the upgrade and reboot, sound was muted. When I unmuted it, then the only sound that could play was a low crackling sound. Also, when I shutdown, the shutdown process hangs while trying to halt ALSA.
I was able to get my sound playing again by commenting out the code that starts pulse-session in the file (below). I'm not familiar with pulseaudio, so I don't know if disabling it is going to break something else for me. /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70pulseaudio # If we are loading a GNOME session, load pulseaudio. #if [ "$BASESTARTUP" = gnome-session -o \ # \( "$BASESTARTUP" = x-session-manager -a \ # "`readlink /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager`" = \ # /usr/bin/gnome-session \) ]; then # STARTUP="/usr/bin/pulse-session $STARTUP" #fi -- pulseaudio upgrade breaks sound https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288039 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
