It seems that on Kubuntu Trusty, by default two pulseaudios are running: $ ps aux|grep pulse julius 3414 1.1 0.1 588164 7056 ? S<l 19:38 0:56 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog julius 3969 0.0 0.1 502228 5520 ? S<l 19:41 0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog
The log-in process start pulseaudio 2 times and the presence detection appears to be broken. -- 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.
