> I'm a bit surprised there are two pulseaudios with different PIDs active though. Could that be a problem?
Yes, probably. On hotplugging, they could both try to probe the device at the same time, and only one of them succeeds. Probably one of the instances gets the playback and the other one gets the recording. The question is why there is second instance of pulseaudio (4056 in the list above). Any attempt to start such an instance should fail if there is already a pulseaudio present and working. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1325282 Title: USB microphone inputs not detected by Pulseaudio on Kubuntu Trusty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1325282/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
