Public bug reported: On Ubuntu 16.10
The pulseaudio daemon dies occasionally. It's probably caused by audio output activity, but I can't be sure it always stops during playback because I can't always hear it (headphones plugged in but not on my head). It doesn't seem to die as much when I'm not playing audio, however. The included log collected by `ubuntu-bug audio` does not represent the bug. It does not occur frequently enough to capture it while creating this report. But I have capture logs of several crashes in the past. A month or so ago I added this to my /etc/pulse/client.conf: ; Added for debugging pulseaudio failures ; https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log ; Maybe related: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1574324 extra-arguments = -vvvv --log-target=newfile:/tmp/pulseverbose.log --log-time=1 I have attached some of the logs up the point of failure to this report.
