I'm seeing this bug in Linux Mint 19.1 (Ubuntu 18.04 base). The audio devices do not appear and disappear in the "Sounds" GUI. The workaround I've found is to do this in a terminal:
pulseaudio -k && sleep 5 ; pulseaudio -D Sometimes this works for hours, and sometimes it works for minutes, after killing/restarting the PulseAudio daemon, as above. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1353013 Title: Popping/Crackling sound when playing audio in Ubuntu 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-hdmi-pulseaudio/+bug/1353013/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
