as suggested i tried

echo autospawn = no >> ~/.pulse/client.conf
killall pulseaudio
LANG=C pulseaudio -vvvv --log-time=1 > ~/pulseverbose.log 2>&1

    Do what you need to reproduce the bug.--- I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO HERE

    Switch back to the terminal and press Ctrl-C to stop PulseAudio.
    Open your Launchpad bug and attach the file ~/pulseverbose.log (in your home directory) to that message.
    To return your system to a clean state again, edit ~/.pulse/client.conf with your favorite editor and remove the line "autospawn = no". If the file is now empty, you can just as well delete it. Then log out and log in again.
    Last but not least - thanks for helping out!

 RESULT IS ATTACHED MY KNOWLEDGE IN COMPUTING IS bIG ZERO ...
THANKS FOR HELPING
