Title:
Volume notification keeps popping up constantly(the notifyosd bubble
on top-right corner)
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 yesterday, I did a clean install while
preserving the home directory which is mounted in a separate
partition. Even during the installation I had constant volume
notification bubble appearing on the top-right corner of my screen, it
would come and go about twice every minute. I just thought it was due
to installing hardware drivers or something but the problem persisted
even when I booted into the freshly installed system. I did some
searching and two users reported the exact problem. And one more
suggested this happens because constant disconnect and reconnect of
the sound card which makes sense as the sound settings flashes briefly
during every popup. Someone on IRC suggested to kill pulseaudio and
thus restart it, that does not fix the issue. I also tried the Live
environment thinking it might be due to some old config files in home
partition (which was preserved during upgrade), but this problem
happens in the live environment as well, which makes sense because it
was present during installation as well.
