Actually I just realised that it's probably pulseaudio that doesn't work. Even though the daemon seems to be started:
3259 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/pulse-session gnome-session none of the PA tools seems to work: $ pactl stat Connection failure: Connection refused $ pacmd No PulseAudio daemon running, or not running as session daemon. I can't find any obvious error messages from pulseaudio. -- volume control applications not starting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/454247 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
