That is because you have 3 sound cards, all of the output devices on these cards are off in the pulseaudio:
card #0, "HDA Intel HDMI", you didn't connect a monitor or connect a monitor without audio capability, so the "Active Profile" for this card is off. card #1, "HDA Intel PCH", there is no internal speaker on it, and there are only 4 line outs and 1 headphone on it, but you didn't plug anything in the lineout jacks or headphone jacks, so the "Active Profile" for this card is off too. card #2, "Brooktree Bt878" doesn't have output device on it. If you plug sth in the lineout jacks, headphone jack or hdmi port (with a hdmi audio capable monitor), the output device will not be the "dummy ouput". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767784 Title: [regression] output device not recognized anymore since update 1:8.0-0ubuntu3.9 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1767784/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
