More info, I hope it can help any dev. After rm -rf .pulse, the sound works, but the sound applet is completely out of game. Changing volume or muting stops working from there, and you need to use alsamixer from a terminal to control volume parameters.
Moreover, powertop claims that there is a sound device used the 100% of the time, even when no sound is produced. Could any dev at least assign/change the status of this bug? Is quite nasty, and affecting a lot of people. -- Frequent PA crashes during playback - pa_stream_cork() failed: Connection terminated and pa_stream_writable_size(): Connection failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/644644 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
