Thanks for your help. I am using the onboard soundcard. When I'm checking levels in the pulseaudio volume apps I sometimes get strange errors. If I start the volume app then open a video in VLC, VLC will sometimes say it couldn't initialize a soundcard, but the meters in the pulseaudio volume app show activity for VLC. If I open VLC first, the Pulseaudio volume program will often say it has no connection.
I will attach my alsa-info as you asked. ** Attachment added: "alsa-info" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/831049/+attachment/2302279/+files/alsa-info.txt.GA6KIkZpDl -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/831049 Title: no audio To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/831049/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
