I had the same problems as described by Anders Häggström & kede. So, with the speaker-test command I could hear sound and it was silent for other programs.
For me, the bug was solved by restarting the pulse audio server. I was planning to isolate the solution, because I tried several things. However, even after a reboot, the bug did not appear again :-D. So probably, these commands are the solution (for me at least): $ speaker-test -c2 --device cards.pcm.iec958 --rate 44100 $ killall -9 pulseaudio $ pulse-session I'm running Ubuntu 8.10, 32 bits on a Asus M2A-VM motherboard with 690G chipset and a Realtek ALC883 audio chip. -- SPDIF won't play PCM after playing AC3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/25632 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
