March 2019 may mean the problem started with the released of: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/1:11.1-1ubuntu7.2
But maybe not. Some other package (like the kernel) might also have changed around then. To test this theory, please try installing the previous version *.deb files from: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/1:11.1-1ubuntu7.1/+build/14932424 You only need the .deb files and not the .ddeb files. And even then you only need to replace the ones already installed. To get a list of packages you need, just run: dpkg -l | grep 11.1-1ubuntu7.2 | awk '{print $2;}' ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1827181 Title: 18.04 - Need to purge and reload alsa and pulseaudio to get sound To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1827181/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
