Bug Description
Lubuntu groovy QA-test (LIVE) on
- dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e6850, 5gb, amd/ati radeon rv516/x1300/x1550)
** Background
I've been noticing this for awhile (was noticed first on Xubuntu), eg.
https:/
"xubuntu groovy daily; I've had a number (3) of boxes boot with sound muted; this isn't intentional is it?"
** What occurred this boot
Note this is not the initial boot of this box, it was booted twice with same results.
Sound is muted, I can't get sound working using the PANEL volume control.
I have to start `pavucontrol-qt` using the menu, go to the OUTPUT DEVICES tab, and click the 'speaker' button to enable sound.
** What I expect to occur
I'd expect sound to be enabled by default.
** Further comments
- this is minor, once fixed it's gone, also not all users will need sound & can be easily fixed as outlined. Most QA installs I don't re-use, but I do on occasion in support, I can't recall muted-sound reappearing (though most times I'd not use audio)
- it appears to be box specific, and occurring only on some older boxes
- this was filed with Lubuntu, but as initially noticed on Xubuntu (I've explored it before, but comments only made on IRC)
- filed on kernel but could be pulseaudio, alsa or other?
