I have just tried to reproduce this with my pcmcia layla, alas no luck ! Noahy could you do the same with this libsound.so and attach again the trace from running the control centre from terminal. Sorry about this but you are my only means for debugging this . I have a feeling it must be something to do with USB sound cards.
That produced output should confirm that the usb card is returning is no ports when in fact 'pactl list cards' shows that there are ports. The problem I can see is that my software recognizes the device as a bluetooth device which is a special case whereby the card is valid while the device has no port name. ** Attachment added: "libsoundnua.so" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/953950/+attachment/2949385/+files/libsoundnua.so -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/953950 Title: [soundnua]: gnome-control-center crashed with SIGSEGV in signal_emit_unlocked_R() Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Switching the input sound source to my Alesis USB mixer causes the sound control applet to crash, and I can't use the mixer now.
