I hope that would be ok to ask, these questions are just for the debugging steps . I understand you may have done them already but I do not know the answers yet. Would you mind checking if it does happen to a brand new unix user ? sometimes we modify our config files in home dir (and sometimes there would be software that would that behind our back) . Would it be possible to give us the output of pacmd list-cards - these will provide us the list of cards pulse audio sees ("hardware"). Check if any program holds the sound cards : fuser -v /dev/snd/* Do you have timtidy installed ? if so can you try removing it and restarting the server and see if that unblock you ? timtidy is known to have issues with pulseaudio in debian , so there could be a similar problem with Ubuntu. Do you use fluidsynth ? can you try removing it ? Can you open the Pulse Audio control box , go to output devices and there check if you have your analog output , if it is there try to set it's port. If there are no hardware devices listed there (we would also know that based on the command of pacmd list-cards) we would need to check why it's missing and how we can add it. Have you configured manually pulse audio config (/etc/pulse/default.pa , /etc/pulse/daemon.conf) ? Do you have the same pulseaudio packages installed - you can compare lists on the existing OS and the live machine if both are running the same OS (you can using dpkg --get-selections | grep pulse | grep -vvv deinstall | cut -f1 to get the list on both sides). For your debugging you can try running : pulseaudio -k; pulseaudio -vvvvv _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
