Skype doesn't work for me because of the same reason. But I have a work- around
Problem description: 1. log in 2. open a terminal 3. start skype from terminal Expected results: Skype works... Actual: "ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave" displayed 4 times, and sound doesn't work in skype (works in rest of desktop). Work-around: remove the snd_hda_intel module and reload it. To be able to remove it, I need to close all applications using it, i.e. pulseaudio. Thus I have to close my current session. Detailed work-around 1- close session (log out) 2- CTRL+ALT+F1 to go to a tty 3- log in 4- sudo rmmod snd_hda_intel 5- sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel 6- CTRL+ALT+F7 and log in again skype works :) (or should I say :( as it isn't free) -- [hardy] Pulseaudio is blocking normal sound after resume https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202089 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
