Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
** Description changed: Binary package hint: pulseaudio I've noticed this happening sometime while using Hardy. Originally sound worked perfectly since I installed Hardy. My sound card is fully supported ( Intel 82801EB/ER AC'97 Audio Controller) and the only device which Gutsy previously had problems with selecting as default audio output, was my usb phone (C-Media Electronics, Inc. Audio Adapter [Planet UP-100, Genius G-Talk]), but now in Hardy, that minor problem doesn't happen. So my audio worked really good until one day (I was looking at a flash video on youtube), I noticed that sound didn't play. At first I thought it was linked to the buggy Flash plugin. But then noticed that no other application was able to produce sound. So after fiddling around various settings, reselecting Alsa instead of PulseAudio solved my whole sound problem. I sometimes re-enable the PulseAudio setting, but with the same results: it works for a couple of days, and after that sound doesn't play any more. + + The problem seems to be that Pulseaudio selects the wrong + Audiocontroller as default output (see alsa-info) + + Uname: Linux christophe-desktop 2.6.24-21-generic #1 SMP Tue Aug 12 + 13:37:22 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux + + Excerpt from lspci: + + 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller [0401]: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER + (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller [8086:24d5] (rev 02) + + + Excerpt from alsa-info: + + Kernel release: 2.6.24-21-generic + Driver version: 1.0.16 + Utilities version: 1.0.15 + + !!Loaded ALSA modules + snd_intel8x0 + snd_usb_audio + + !!Soundcards recognised by ALSA + 0 [ICH5 ]: ICH4 - Intel ICH5 + Intel ICH5 with AD1980 at irq 21 + 1 [default ]: USB-Audio - Generic USB Audio Device + Generic USB Audio Device at usb-0000:00:1d.0-1, full speed + + !!PCI Soundcards installed in the system + 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) ** Summary changed: - [Hardy] PulseAudio stops playing sound sometimes + [Intel 82801EB/ER] PulseAudio selects wrong default device ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Assignee: Andreas Moog (andreas-moog) => (unassigned) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Description changed: Binary package hint: pulseaudio - I've noticed this happening sometime while using Hardy.
