Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) reached end-of-life on April 28, 2017.
See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases We appreciate that this bug may be old and you might not be interested in discussing it any more. But if you are then please upgrade to the latest Ubuntu version and re-test. ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Changed in: alsa-driver (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1105774 Title: hda-intel: spurious response and [pulseaudio] module-udev-detect.c: inotify_init1() failed: Too many open files Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have two desktops, Unity and KDE, in KDE pulseaudio starts without problems, but when I end session in KDE and begin it with Unity, then pulseaudio fails to start, I have sound in KDE even in lightdm, but not in Unity, this lack of sound makes Unity experience to suck at all. Why pulseaudio cannot start when I log on with Unity? When I try to start it manually it just drops this message: E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Falló el inicio del demonio. The same message when I logon: Jan 26 00:33:00 64-desktop pulseaudio[25578]: [pulseaudio] module-udev-detect.c: inotify_init1() failed: Demasiados archivos abiertos Jan 26 00:33:00 64-desktop pulseaudio[25578]: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-udev-detect" (argument: ""): initialization failed. Jan 26 00:33:00 64-desktop pulseaudio[25578]: [pulseaudio] main.c: Module load failed. Jan 26 00:33:00 64-desktop pulseaudio[25578]: [pulseaudio] main.c: Fallo al intentar iniciar el demonio. Jan 26 00:33:00 64-desktop pulseaudio[25575]: [pulseaudio] main.c: Falló el inicio del demonio. If the problem is with udev, why it fails with Unity, and not in KDE?. I actually have sound, but not trough pulseaudio; the speaker icon in the system tray shows disabled and I don't have login sound, I know it is disabled by default, I enabled it, so I expect to hear login sound and have pulseaudio working. I noticed this problem with pulseaudio since an upgrade that the system made automatically on January 18, these packages: Start-Date: 2013-01-18 10:24:02 Install: linux-headers-3.2.0-36:amd64 (3.2.0-36.57, automatic), linux-image-3.2.0-36-generic:amd64 (3.2.0-36.57), linux-headers-3.2.0-36-generic:amd64 (3.2.0-36.57, automatic) Upgrade: linux-generic:amd64 (3.2.0.35.40, 3.2.0.36.43), x11proto-gl-dev:amd64 (1.4.14-2, 1.4.16-1~precise1), linux-headers-generic:amd64 (3.2.0.35.40, 3.2.0.36.43), linux-image-generic:amd64 (3.2.0.35.40, 3.2.0.36.43), linux-libc-dev:amd64 (3.2.0-35.55, 3.2.0-36.57), x11proto-dri2-dev:amd64 (2.6-2, 2.8-1~precise1) End-Date: 2013-01-18 10:30:02 I personally can't find any relation of these packages with pulseaudio, but after I installed the new kernel, pulseaudio sucks when I log on with Unity.
