pactl list and pulseaudio log - in attachements It looks that only ".pulse" directory was corrupted somehow by something and pulseaudio couldn't run. I looked at 2 dirs (working and not working: aaa5bb6eaa7cd50f2af1f10000000004-runtime -> /tmp/pulse-EI7diVSblQG2 aaa5bb6eaa7cd50f2af1f10000000004-runtime -> think that bad symbolyc link caused this, maybe this situation should be handled programatically by pulseaudio? Also I have to mention that I have /tmp as tmpfs in my fstab, but till this moment everything was ok. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1092831 Title: All sound output devices disappeared Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: After a recent update all my sound output devices disappeared. I tried to load previous kernel version, but it didn't help. Then it is not a kernel problem. And I don't know what. I have built-in sound device and Creative X-Fi elite pro card When trying to start pulseaudio: ~$ pulseaudio E: [pulseaudio] core-util.c: Path in link /home/user/.pulse/aaa5bb6eaa7cd50f2af1f10000000004-runtime is not absolute. Actually deleting this dir (/home/user/.pulse) and rebooting helped, but I still think it's a bug (A normal user can't find this solution) and such errors shouldn't appear. Maybe sometime it should be noticed.
