Ok, I think I figured out the difference between getting a dummy output or having the output there but not working for the second user. If user 1 starts playing something before user 2 logs in an starts their client, then user 2 can't see (or select) the output in Sound Preferences (which usually would give them a dummy output if they have no other sound devices, right?). If both users have their pulseaudio going before one starts to play something, then user 2 can see the output device, but their sound applications can't play anthing.
I'll attach the logs. ** Attachment added: "pulseverbose_user1_dummy.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/39894859/pulseverbose_user1_dummy.log -- [Karmic]&[Lucid] Only one user has sound; no hw shows in Sound Preferences https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433654 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
