@Hephaestus Malleus In your case, it's fairly straightforward; some other applications has grabbed the sound device: ... I: (alsa-lib)setup.c: Cannot lock ctl elem I: (alsa-lib)setup.c: Cannot lock ctl elem I: (alsa-lib)setup.c: Cannot lock ctl elem I: (alsa-lib)setup.c: Cannot lock ctl elem D: alsa-util.c: Set neither period nor buffer size. I: (alsa-lib)setup.c: Cannot lock ctl elem I: alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_hw_params failed: Device or resource busy ...
In short, stop what ever application is racing with PA to gain control of the sound device. sudo fuser -v /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/* /dev/seq* may shed some light. -- [regression] After Karmic Update integration ALSA+PULSEAUDIO is problematic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/478014 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
