Public bug reported: this only happens when sound is through the PCI sound card. When i connect speakers to the motherboard output (I lose the 5.1 component), pulseaudio never dies.
I have switched and replaced the sound card to no effect but I never really thought that was the issue. There seems to be no evidence of the failure unless I run it from the command line with -vvvv, when eventually I see a 'killed' message. The pulseaudio log collects initial messages, but nothing else is echoed to the log - which could be anything from 3-20 minutes [typically]. I'm more than happy to assist in getting whatever logs are required, but nothing I've seen documented seems to help. ** Affects: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1673942 Title: pulseaudio suddenly stops.
