File | Open and select some video. 2. Video starts playing but pop-up error appears: Audio output failed: The audio device "default" could not be used: Connection refused. See attachment: audio_error_in_vlc.png 3. From Ubuntu's System Settings | Sound I see there is no Output device. See attachment system_sound_settings_problem.png Note 1: Opening Firefox and playing videos from youtube.com and sound is working without a problem. Note 2: I have also tried playing video in "Totem Movie Player" default Ubuntu video player and sound also does not work. 4. Work-around is to restart Ubuntu. Then looking into System Settings | Sound and devices are displayed. See attachment: system_sound_after_reboot.png When running video in VLC now audio works fine. Also after reboot audio works fine when playing video from "Totem Movie Player". I am not an audio expert, but this does look like some system sound problem and not specific video/audio player, so I have reported a problem against pusleaudio package. I hope I have reported a problem against correct package.
