Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help make Ubuntu better. After reading through your description, this does not appear to be a bug in Pulseaudio, as your problem occurred because another application (Gizmo) was using the sound card, this preventing Pulseaudio from running. As Gizmo is not provided by the official Ubuntu repositories, the Ubuntu project can not support or fix your particular bug. Please report this bug to the provider of the software package.
By default, no users are added to the 'pulse', 'pulse-access' or 'pulse- rt' groups on any install anyway. The first two groups are only used when running Pulseaudio system-wide (Ubuntu uses a per-user Pulseaudio daemon). 'pulse-rt' is to allow members of this group to use Pulseaudio with real-time scheduling, but is empty by default as it could be open to abuse (Have a look at http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/FAQ "The pulseaudio executable is installed SUID root by default. Why this? Isn't this a potential security hole? "). ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- In upgrade to 8.04, Pulse Audio group permissions don't get set https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224367 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
