Public bug reported: what happened: after disconnecting an hdmi cable from my computer, there was no audio from my computer.
pulseaudio had crashed. i noticed this by opening the sound settings dialog and clicking the "test sound" button: nothing happened, no dialog popped up. subsequently, i did a: ps aux | grep pulseaudio and killed the pid of the pulseaudio server (SIGTERM). then i started the server again with the same command that the process i killed obviously used: /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog problem worked-around. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1072571 Title: no audio after unplugging hdmi monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1072571/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
