After reboot, sound works again.... here are some of the same commands with the working system:
r...@ubuntudesktop:~# aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: VT1708B Analog [VT1708B Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: VT1708B Digital [VT1708B Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 alsa-info.sh output: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=576ebf32b3117195dfa0b0928130f2db612e84ec I then tried the alsa force-unload and alsa force-reload commands and then aplay -l shows no sound card again, so it looks like that part was broken from my debugging. Should it loose track of the hardware like that, is that another bug? r...@ubuntudesktop:~# alsa force-unload lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/reece/.gvfs Output information may be incomplete.

Next time the sound stops, I won't mess with alsa since it looks like that makes things worse, but please let me know what information you need while my system is in that state. -- Sound works for a while, then randomly stops working in 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315824 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
