ok, I've figured some more out with the help of system76 support: https://github.com/pop-os/pop/issues/389
the TL&DR is that the issue seems to be caused by the systemd init scripts, and that stopping them all and running pulseaudio manually works fine. so this isn't really even a pulse issue, but perhaps a systemd or ubuntu packaging issue. ** Bug watch added: github.com/pop-os/pop/issues #389 https://github.com/pop-os/pop/issues/389 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1799007 Title: [System76 Oryx Pro] no sound after 18.10 upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1799007/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
