> I'm a bit surprised there are two pulseaudios with different PIDs active though. Could that be a problem?
Yes, probably. On hotplugging, they could both try to probe the device at the same time, and only one of them succeeds. Probably one of the instances gets the playback and the other one gets the recording. The question is why there is second instance of pulseaudio (4056 in the list above). Any attempt to start such an instance should fail if there is already a pulseaudio present and working. -- 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/1325282 Title: USB microphone inputs not detected by Pulseaudio on Kubuntu Trusty Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When I connect an audio device using USB, I can only use it to play back stereo sound. Anything else is not detected. I tried it with two different devices and they both give me the same result. Neither in KDE nor in Google Hangouts, I can use my microphone. It does not show up as a selectable input device anywhere. ALSA does seem to correctly detect that these USB devices have a microphone. The microphone of my internal audio does work.
