I have once again returned with more info. I have discovered that the problem is not actually solved by the link that I posted above, but is indeed caused by setting the value in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf to: default-sample-channels = 6
I set it back to 2 on my dell desktop and everything was fine. PulseAudio is actually what crashes, and as a result, crashes whatever happens to be using PulseAudio at the time, such as Rhythmbox. It would be nice to see this fixed by Intrepid. -- PulseAudio fails when Gstreamer is paused https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221038 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
