I have this issue right now so I have run the suggested instructions. Before sound disappeared I watched flash video from Vimeo on the following web page: http://mynokiablog.com/2011/03/05/download-qt-game-doodledrive-alpha-for-symbian-and-maemo/
It worked first time, but then I clicked on this link (found in page): https://projects.forum.nokia.com/doodledrive After a while I returned to the original web page (using back arrow in Firefox) and discovered the sound was gone. I tested to play something in Totem but no sound could be heard. ** Attachment added: "pactl stat" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/688750/+attachment/1887870/+files/pactl.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/688750 Title: Sometimes sound stop working for all applications -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
