I would rather give this "High" importance, because I have to restart my computer few times in order t get sound.
Without sound, ANY application that tries to use sound HANGS. This means, that opening Firefox or Thunderbird fails. Yes, I am NOT able to do ANYTHING when I have no sound in Ubuntu. I cannot even open GEdit, because it simply hangs. Killing pulseaudio unhangs everything. This bugs makes Ubuntu unusable to do actually ANYTHING. I can only browser files, I cannot open ANY application. This is a bug in Pulseaudio or any daemon that tries to start it, because removing Pulse makes everything work fine. But - I don't have the sound indicator anymore. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/870345 Title: Missing access to sound cards?
