In response to various requests by the author of #29: No luck with 13.04 which keeps repeating mei_me issues on a text console without even booting to the graphical desktop.
In a multi-hour effort, the http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2013/09/27/ubuntu-13-10-saucy-salamander-final- beta-released/ just out though boots from USB, albeit slowly, and then showing only Front Left&Right speakers in Unity's "Systems Settings / Sound" even when set to 5.1 for the GF119 HDMI port. However, once figuring out the only (sub-)device that works, Saucy 13.10ß2 producing a slightly different ELD (all as attached in this and subsequent posts) can be taken through the command-line speaker-test -c6 motions in pink-noise, sine and wave without provoking the freezes that haunt 12.04 LTS. pavucontrol is not apt-get installable though in the (USB-booted) beta. ** Attachment added: "Saucy-reported ELDs via HDMI" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1203520/+attachment/3848755/+files/SaucyELD.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1203520 Title: 10de:1040 snd_hda_codec_hdmi (via pavucontrol or applications playing sound) freezes Ubuntu 12.04 LTS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1203520/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
