After Update Ubuntu 12.04 and despite several reboots, no more sound (Sortie factice)

[BURDEL]

After Update Ubuntu 12.04 and despite several reboots, no more sound (Sortie factice).

I made several times the following actions:

sudo apt-get remove --purge alsa-base
sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio
sudo apt-get install alsa-base
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio
sudo alsa force-reload

No more sound and always "sortie factice" in pulseaudio.

Needs Help

Please give a link to your alsa information: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/AlsaInfo
A pulseaudio log may be helpful as well: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log

"After Update Ubuntu 12.04"
So do you remember what was upgraded? Is there an older kernel that you could boot into?

No , I' can't remember the upgrade.
In fact , I always have got issues with the sound since the set up of
Ubuntu 12.04 in October 2012. " dummy output" appeared in Pulseaudio
control and I should reboot once or two times to get the sound. (
*material* : internal audio, 1 output/1 input - duplex stereo analogic ;
*Input* : audio stereo analogic; *Output* : audio stereo analogic)

Now , I have in peripheral Input : nothing and peripheral Output :
"dummy output".

I have a laptop ACER 5750 G whose soundcard might be not compatible with
UBUNTU 12.04 ?

Please try the latest driver to make sure this hasn't been fixed already: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/UpgradingAlsa/DKMS

Hello

I have got sound again only with Alsa by removing Pulseaudio.(but
intensity a little weaker)
The issue seems to come from Pulseaudio.
How to make Pulseaudio work?

Regards

[Daniel Letzeisen (dtl131)]

I don't personally know a whole lot about pulseaudio (don't use it myself). However, one command that works a lot:
rm -r ~/.pulse*; pulseaudio -k
