Hello, Pulseaudio has been installed automatically by wheezy. I definitely do not need pulseaudio: 5 days ago I did not even know this package.
I tried the following tests.
TEST 1: Created a basic /etc/asound.conf (the file did not exist)
pcm.pulse {
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
rebooted: no sound (Dummy device)
TEST2: Installed pavucontrol.
No sound, only Dummy device is seen (see figure).
TEST3: I tried to stop/remove pulseaudio but I failed: it always was there:
* Tried to pulseaudio --kill with both user and root and pulseaudio still there
* Tried update-rc.d pulseaudio disable and reboot and pulseaudio still there
* Tried update-rc.d -f pulseaudio remove and reboot and pulseaudio still there
I'm reticent to uninstall an automatically installed package... should I do
that?
So all in all I cannot conclude that the problem comes from pulseaudio.
Actually if this was the case, why alsa force-reload gives me back the sound
and the Internal Analog Audio Stereo?
Thanks for your help.
Ric
