Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) reached end-of-life on April 30, 2011.
See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases Please upgrade to the latest version and re-test. ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/461087 Title: failed to load "module-esound-protocol-unix" Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: pulseaudio I just upgrade to unstable Karmic Koala. Before this upgrade my sound worked fine, but now it doesnt. I'm not sure, whether this is just some sort of misconfiguration or a bug, so maybe you'll have an idea. 1. When I try to start pulseaudio manually by typing it into the terminal, it tells me: E: pid.c: Daemon already running. E: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed. 2. /var/log/user.log writes a thousand times something like the following: Oct 24 00:42:34 desktop pulseaudio[11834]: pid.c: Stale PID file, overwriting. Oct 24 15:00:01 desktop pulseaudio[3678]: module-console-kit.c: GetUnixUser() call failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "GetUnixUser" with signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Session" doesn't exist Oct 26 13:37:19 desktop pulseaudio[4057]: pid.c: Stale PID file, overwriting.

Oct 26 14:10:53 desktop pulseaudio[2397]: protocol-esound.c: write(): Broken pipe By the way, I have to run my system with "acpi=off" for being stable, if that might have something to do with this...
