I have performed a clean install of Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop. I also have a NVidia CK804 with ALC850. I am using the SP/DIF After the installation, I had no sound.
I followed your advice and killed PulseAudio by performing the following in a terminal window: "ps -ef | grep pulseaudio" "kill <PID>", where <PID> is the process id of pulse audio shown in the previous command. I assume that "sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop" will work, but have not tried it. I then had to open alsamixer and unmute the IEC958 and ensure the IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA volume level was set to 0. I now have sound. Everytime I reboot, I have to kill PulseAudio. Does anyone know how to get PulseAudio working? or should i just prevent it from starting up? -- After upgrade to 8.10 no audio sound https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/291313 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
