** Description changed: After upgrade to 12.10 from 12.04 I lost sound through my speakers again. When I plug in a headphone I have sound. Problem lies probably in Pulseaudio, because I hear a short period (<2 s) through speakers after mute and unmute. This effect is toggled by the sound-indicator muting only (pulseaudio), not on the alsamixer or card controls in pavucontrol or QASmixer. Output of alsa-info.sh: http://www.alsa- project.org/db/?f=5a9a15aafd216fb880268a672fa11e3c822c09a1 I already tried most of the proposed solutions, but still no luck. UPDATE: in search of solutions, I tried to get a log of the pulseaudio processes so I made a ~/.pulse/client.conf with autospawn=no and killed all pulseaudio. After that I entered the command to verbose start pulseaudio. And low and behold, I had sound (but it means that pulseaudio is not running, because the sound-indicator applet and settings applet is not working. In QAS mixer I get "Mixer device could not be opened" Function: snd_hctl_open Address: pulse Error: Connection is refused I kept the ~/.pulse/client.conf unchanged and restarted the system. Now I still have sound so it seems that with my system sound can be played but without pulse. + + UPDATE2 + For my provisional solution see last comment. Only drawback at this moment is that however the sound levels are adjusted on plugging in a headphone, the headphone is not muted after unplugging. I have to manually mute the headphone.
