Public bug reported: I can't tell what package is causing the problem. All I know is that shortly after a reboot, the audio dies. It can happen before I hear any sound, or it can happen after watching 5 minutes of Youtube videos. I haven't noticed anything consistent about what causes the audio to vanish.
I have been following other similar bugs, especially this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/382440 Mhazen's post (9th comment in above launchpad thread) has been somewhat useful. If I create his client.conf file in ~/.pulse and reload ALSA, sometimes audio will come back for a little while. Then it dies again. I also have a thread on the Ubuntu Forum which records my evolving understanding of the problem. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1915782 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: pulseaudio 1:1.0-0ubuntu3.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-15.26-generic 3.0.13 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-15-generic x86_64 AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
