Seem pulseaudio bug

Can you upload the pulse audio log?

[draco (draco31-fr)]

Same problem for me.
Could you tell me how to retrieve the pulseaudio log ?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

It seems this is a random problem.
The user tells me that she now hears sounds ... but we don't understand why.
We did all tricks about muting SPDIF, without any effect on the current session.
Maybe the cold boot makes the difference, but for how long ?

However, I retrieved all the logs requested... I wait until problems reappear, so I should post them with "no sounds" logs.
Let me know if logs taken on a (new) working system would be usefull right now.

For me it seemed to be the best, to install the whole system new. So I
did it.
My new installed ubuntu 12/04 works properly.

Thank you for your attempt to help me.
To follow you on "bug launchpad way" was to tricky for me.

Still Thanks a lot and bye bye

So there may have been a recent package upgrade that solve the problem.
On my side, Xubuntu 12.04 was installed in june over a 9.04 version. Only
home partition has not been re-formatted.
So despite it's close to a fresh install, sound wasn't working after the
first boot.

Hello Drako,

for your information. I installed new, with a new downloaded iso in
23.april 2012.
During the installation the older versions were deleted.
My system now is a fresh ubuntu 12/04.

Thankś for your efforts
Ruddy
