Public bug reported:
I have upgraded from gutsy to hardy. I have never used pulseaudio before, and
haven't touched any sound settings in gutsy or after the distupgrade.
Now in hardy whenever i play a file, i get a loud noise and no sound. I found
out that killing the pulseaudio instances that were autostarted I get back
sound. I'm not sure what that means, I have no experience with this system -
and didn't know if I needed to configure something manually. When I kill
pulseaudio, it seems the autodetect sink of gstreamer just uses normal alsa and
thus it works. It also works then if i keep pulseaudio and manually select
alsasink.
I also found out that the gstreamer test that creates just a sine sound DOES
work, but in totem/rhythmbox with gstreamer it's only the noise.
At the same time, aplay or even vlc (which I guess just bypass pulseaudio
directly to alsa).
I will gladly supply more information to help debug this or find the
problem, but I'll need some guidance :)
