I think I7m suffering the same or a similar bug. I can not get any sound at all, no matter what I do, despite the card seemingly being identified and ALSA driver's loaded.
I have a fresh install of Feisty. I have an external USB audio device by Kenwood. In alsamixer it is shown to be unmuted. $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 1: Device [Kenwood Audio Device], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 $ asoundconf list Names of available sound cards: Device The only error output I get is when I go to Preferences->Sound, and select to test "Sound PLayback* with Alsa selected from the drop down menu. Then I get this error: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open resource for writing. If I select to test USB audio, or Autodetect, I get a dialog box that says sound is playing, but I get no sound through my device. This must be a bug somewhere, as I can:t find any other way of determining what is wrong, and I feel like I've been through every sound trouble shooting web page on the net. I even thought my Kenwood might be broken, but I just confirmed it is running by hooking it up to a Windows laptop which played without any trouble. I'm eager for a solution, or even a workaround. Thank you for your time and effort. If I can provide any more information or assistance to get this working, please let me know. -- Bug in sound driver (audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Resource busy or not available.) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99162 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
