Hmmm, still no sound. pkill pulseaudio wasn't good enough cause pulseaudio kept restarting. I saw this in .xsession-errors: ** (gnome-volume-control-applet:5093): WARNING **: Connection failed, reconnecting...
** (gnome-volume-control-applet:5093): WARNING **: Unable to get default source I did have a volume control applet open and then one in the notification area. I removed the applet, then fiddled with the notification area one. Eventually it went away and I got this in .xsession-errors: ** (gnome-volume-control:18676): WARNING **: Unable to find stream for bar Assertion 'pa_atomic_load(&(c)->_ref) >= 1' failed at pulse/ext-stream-restore.c:202, function pa_ext_stream_restore_write(). Aborting. At this point I could kill pulseaudio and it wouldn't restart. So I did: $ speaker-test -c2 -Dplug:front speaker-test 1.0.20 Playback device is plug:front Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels Using 16 octaves of pink noise Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz) Buffer size range from 64 to 16384 Period size range from 32 to 8192 Using max buffer size 16384 Periods = 4 was set period_size = 4096 was set buffer_size = 16384 0 - Front Left 1 - Front Right Time per period = 5.632618 0 - Front Left 1 - Front Right ... After this, I noticed that pulseaudio had restarted itself. I checked /var/log/user.log and see: Jul 18 15:56:23 severus pulseaudio[18671]: alsa-source.c: ALSA woke us up to read new data from the device, but there was actually nothing to read! Jul 18 15:56:23 severus pulseaudio[18671]: alsa-source.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_hda_intel'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers. Jul 18 15:56:23 severus pulseaudio[18671]: alsa-source.c: We were woken up with POLLIN set -- however a subsequent snd_pcm_avail() returned 0 or another value < min_avail. So this seems it is likely it, but I don't know how to proceed. Please advise.
