Ok guys, I have an easy workaround that works for me. Create a sound.sh file and type in it:
#!/usr/bin/sh /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop /etc/init.d/alsa-utils start Then, save that file, and make it executable: chmod +x sound.sh Then, copy it to /usr/bin: sudo mv sound.sh /usr/bin/ You will have to run this little script every time your laptop resumes from sleep or hibernation I am afraid! I tried adding these two lines of start/stop on the /etc/acpi/resume/'s alsa file, but it would NOT make a difference, while running them on a terminal after the resume works! Yes, you get some permission errors trying to run this script as a plain user, but the weird thing is, it works! (honestly, it shouldn't have worked!) I hope this gives enough info to the ubuntu guys to fix this. I giving this IBM T23 laptop to my little brother in Greece and the only hardware-related bug in the whole system is this sound problem (even the modem works!). I am leaving for Greece in 10 days and when the laptop gets there, it will never get updated again because my bro is in dial- up. So if this doesn't get fixed in 10 days, he will have to stay with broken audio until this laptop dies... -- Pulseaudio is blocking normal sound after resume https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202089 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
