I simply purged pulseaudio and the problem went away, software sound mixing still works. No more a/v sync problems with video either. My biased opinion is that my laptop runs cooler too, but can't confirm. YMMV.
The command I used was "sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio". Note that this doesn't fix the bug, only that the faulting app is removed. -- static noise, no audio in pulseaudio 0.9.14-0ubuntu11 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/340631 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
