Hmm, but the log shows exactly what happens if someone changes the last lines of /etc/pulse/default.pa from the below (this is the original):
### Make some devices default #set-default-sink output #set-default-source input to this: ### Make some devices default #set-default-sink output set-default-source 2 ...notice how they should be commented out by default. Or if it loads a copy of default.pa in ~/.config/pulse or ~/.pulse where this change has been done? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1547585 Title: Pulseaudio stopped working but sound still works at the low level (can be controlled with alsamixer) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1547585/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
