Package: pulseaudio Version: 2.0-6 Severity: important
I'm using a default installation on wheezy/gnome, set up as a laptop. The device works fine on another system, a server with a pulseaudio daemon process set up manually. On the default desktop gnome setup, however, I'm finding pulseaudio highly unreliable with a USB device, Creative Soundblaster X-Fi HD. Other people report similar problems. It has worked occasionally, but usually it doesn't Sometimes I see this error in dmesg or console: usb_set_interface failed and sometimes /var/log/user.log contains messages such as module-alsa-card.c: Failed to find a working profile. I've tried deleting ~/.pulse* and rebooting, doesn't help I've also noticed that if I try to kill the pulseaudio process (e.g. to try changing something in /etc/pulse/default.pa) it tries to start 5 more copies and logs a heap of errors to /var/log/user.log - this seems like some issue with the restart mechanism. In any case, having it restart automatically is quite annoying when troubleshooting. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
