The indicator icon suddenly shows the speaker with two dashes, no sound at all, and then after a few seconds the soundcard is detected either as "dummy audio device" or as "Analog output", in which case sound works again for a few minutes until it happens again. Tried removing ~/.pulse and restarting the session. It didn't helped.
