Can you post the output of: sudo fuser -v /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/* I had this problem, and noticed the lirc daemon had hooked itself to the /dev/snd/ device, resulting in pulseaudio being unable to load my soundcard. After doing:
sudo update-rc.d -f lirc remove Than I got sound after rebooting. Now I only need to get to start lirc after pulseaudio starts, but that's another problem -- No sound with intel-hda without "alsa force-reload" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/449762 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
