Analyzing the issue, the problem lies in module-udev-detect. It checks for closed status on all PCM subdevices for the audio card:
line 185 of src/modules/module-udev-detect.c: if (!pa_streq(line, "closed\n")) { busy = TRUE; break; } I added some pa_log_info to see the content: D: module-udev-detect.c: /dev/snd/controlC0 is accessible: yes I: module-udev-detect.c: card_path is: /proc/asound/card0 I: module-udev-detect.c: pcm_path is: /proc/asound/card0/pcm6c I: module-udev-detect.c: sub_status is: /proc/asound/card0/pcm6c/sub0/status I: module-udev-detect.c: line is: state: PREPARED I: module-udev-detect.c: pcm_path is: /proc/asound/card0/pcm6p I: module-udev-detect.c: sub_status is: /proc/asound/card0/pcm6p/sub0/status I: module-udev-detect.c: line is: state: PREPARED I: module-udev-detect.c: pcm_path is: /proc/asound/card0/pcm1p I: module-udev-detect.c: sub_status is: /proc/asound/card0/pcm1p/sub0/status I: module-udev-detect.c: line is: closed I: module-udev-detect.c: pcm_path is: /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c I: module-udev-detect.c: sub_status is: /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/sub1/status I: module-udev-detect.c: line is: closed I: module-udev-detect.c: sub_status is: /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/sub0/status I: module-udev-detect.c: line is: closed I: module-udev-detect.c: pcm_path is: /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p I: module-udev-detect.c: sub_status is: /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/status I: module-udev-detect.c: line is: closed D: module-udev-detect.c: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/sound/card0 is busy: yes I: module-udev-detect.c: Found 1 cards. Now, the problem is that the modem is in "PREPARED" state all the time. Thus, module-udev-detect fails. -- [Karmic] processes holding /dev/dsp* or /dev/snd/pcm* cause "pulseaudio: card not found - Null Output / Dummy Output" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394500 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
