This is due to the container running udevadm trigger --action=add. Those events also get sent to the host, causing some hardware to be reset. For me, in addition to sound levels being reset, my keyboard bindings are also reset.
This won't happen with a Precise guest as it won't run udev. At the next UDS we intend to discuss a design for a devices namespace to avoid this. ** Changed in: lxc (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: lxc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/948447 Title: Starting an LXC changes the volume (sound!) of the host To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/948447/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
