It sounds like the apps running on the console are not using PulseAudio directly, i.e they are using ALSA or OSS, and when PulseAudio loads in the X session, it cannot access the audio hardware, because the console app is using the audio hardware exclusively.
Please try getting a log from PulseAudio as outlined here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log whilst playing audio from a console app. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1004156 Title: No audio under X (only when booted to text mode) - MS-7549, Realtek ALC888, Green Line Out, Rear Pulseaudio fails to detect card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1004156/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
