I noticed that the onboard PCI was marked as busy in the log, and that there was a systemwide pulseaudio daemon running. The contents of /etc/default/pulseaudio (minus comments) is:
PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START=0 DISALLOW_MODULE_LOADING=1 But somehow it seems to start pulseaudio on boot anyway. Killing the systemwide daemon manually (as /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop does not work, since it believes it is in "per user" mode) and restarting my local pulseaudio enabled the onboard audio. I could not immediatly see where pulseaudio was started from. References to pulseaudio in /etc: /etc# find . | grep -i pulse ./pulse ./pulse/system.pa ./pulse/daemon.conf ./pulse/default.pa ./rc1.d/K15pulseaudio ./rc5.d/S50pulseaudio ./default/pulseaudio ./rc3.d/S50pulseaudio ./init.d/pulseaudio ./rc2.d/S50pulseaudio ./rc4.d/S50pulseaudio ./dbus-1/system.d/pulseaudio-system.conf ./xdg/autostart/pulseaudio-kde.desktop ./xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop Any ideas where it might be started from? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/914808 Title: [Realtek ALC888] Pulseaudio fails to detect card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/914808/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
