Recently encountered this myself on Hardy. Possibly as a result of running the Pulseaudio device chooser. - I have sound on boot up (at the GDM login). - The Gnome login sounds do not play. No sounds through the Gnome sound applet ever play. - With the Output set to Autodetect/ALSA/OSS in Sound Preferences my audio works apart from the gnome related system sounds.

Selecting Pulseaudio Server in Sound Preferences and clicking 'test' results in the following error in a gui dialog: "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect: Connection refused." strace of an attempt to execute 'pulseaudio' is here: http://pastebin.com/m37bba89c I've tried the above fixes to no avail. Is there a way to either totally re-configure or re-install everything audio related? My audio was fine on a fresh install, but something has broken it. I'd appreciate any help as I doubt an in place upgrade to Intrepid would fix what seems to be a configuration/permissions issue. -- pulseaudio esd wrapper is not working with gnome https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108577 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
