Just did a fresh install of i386 Hardy 8.04 + all updates. Experiencing the same error even on a totally fresh reboot. The login screen drum sound plays, but trying to play anything in Totem gives me the "Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument" error. Rhythmbox refuses to play anything but doesn't give an error.
I'm using an M-Audio Audiophile 96/24 pci sound card. killall pulseaudio fixes the problem. However, unlike the previous poster, if I run pulseaudio again manually the error resumes. Running pulseaudio manually gives the following output (init errors are present): ALSA lib conf.c:3952:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 0 ALSA lib pcm.c:2145:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM surround71:0 W: alsa-util.c: Device hw:0 doesn't support 2 channels, changed to 10.

Seems like everyone is having a slightly different variation of this problem. -- "Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191027 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
