Confirming the problem and the workaround from comment 40 (disabling sl- modem).
** Description changed: Binary package hint: pulseaudio + + Pulseaudio can't find working alsa sound cards on bootup. + "alsa force-reload" after login remedies the problems until next reboot. + Comments 40,41,42 propose a workaround - disabling sl-modem. + + + Old summary: Pulseaudio sudenly can't find my sound card. $ pulseaudio --version pulseaudio 0.9.15 $ pulseaudio -vvvv D: main.c: Started as real root: no, suid root: yes I: main.c: We're in the group 'pulse-rt', allowing high-priority scheduling.
