I have the same issue. Strange thing is that alsa detects the devices.
--- $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC269VB Analog [ALC269VB Analog] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 1: ALC269VB Digital [ALC269VB Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 --- But not pulse: --- $ pacmd list-cards 0 card(s) available. --- VLC can reproduce audio if the sound device is setup trhough alsa. anyother test throws the same result: alsa detects the devices without error, pulse does not detect de devices (but I didnt see any error).
