José, thanks for pointing out a workaround! I haven't had time to confirm yet but I may have found the reason the script /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11 wasn't running correctly on my system. When I tried executing it manually I got the error message "Failed to open sound file." Looking at the script it contains the line
/usr/bin/pactl upload-sample /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg bell.ogg > /dev/null However, the file /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg wasn't present on my system. Since the script is run with sh -e it will stop on the first failure and therefore not load module-device-manager. I found out that the sound file is part of the package ubuntu-sounds - once installed, the script runs correctly. José, could you please check if you have the package ubuntu-sounds installed? The description says "Ubuntu's GNOME audio theme" so no wonder it's not installed by default on Kubuntu. This therefore seems to be a packaging bug in pulseaudio - the package should depend on ubuntu- sounds. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1684108 Title: Broken Audio infrastructure on Kubuntu 17.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-meta/+bug/1684108/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
