Just upgraded to 16.04 and have the same issue. My pulseaudio version is also 1:8.0-0ubuntu3.3. I also can't apply the workaround in comment #20 because all audio sockets are in use.
In case it helps: if the sound settings window (unity-control-centre sound) is open and has focus, then 'Digital Output (S/PDIF)' becomes selected at exactly the time that the indicator appears, regardless of which output device was previously selected. I can't find a way to disable (not simply mute) the S/PDIF output to see if that helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1585084 Title: Volume notification keeps popping up constantly (the notify-OSD bubble on top-right corner) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1585084/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
