Report of my findings: * kernel 3.2.0-51, works fine, audio playback did not break (attaching pulseaudio verbose log).
* kernel 3.5.0-37, works fine: I made the impossible to break audio, tried 2 different reboots, opened mumble while playing music, installed skype on top of that and use it, audio did not break. There was some glitches between skype and mumble stepping into each other (as in, the first one to start would "lock" the audio device and the other will not start properly), but closing one of the programs will make the othwr works fine. Attaching pulseaudio verbose log. * kernel 3.8.0-27, breaks audio playback, rather easily. Just opening mumble and connecting to server, and starting a conversation will break it. Attaching pulseaudio verbose log, this is the biggest log file, lots of "Underrun!" in it. Joseph: I know you expected kernel 3.5 to break audio but I did my best and could not break it. Any more tests I can do? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1201528 Title: [Realtek ALC889] - Audio Playback Unavailable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1201528/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
