I can confirm that solution described above solves problem completely. I did exactly this: sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio-esound-compat:i386 sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio-esound-compat:amd64 sudo reboot
Note: launching pulseaudio directly after replace doesn't solved anything. So in my case reboot was inevitable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1078543 Title: [raring] Pulse audio fails to start with error 'Failed to open module "module-esound-protocol-unix": file not found' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1078543/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
