This suggests pulseaudio may be running in another user and grabbing the soundcard, and thus the pulseaudio under your user fails to use that. A possible culprit is the speech-dispatcher package. Would you please run the following (when the problem is present) and attach the output please: pulseaudio --kill ; pulseaudio -vvvv ps -fea | grep pulseaudio Thanks -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
