Bug Description
I have ubuntu 10.04 (AMD64), kernel 2.6.32-34.
In the last 15 days I found that Pulseaudio is not working as before. I have a TV card SAA7134, (since 3 years) that input the audio in line-in plug of the audio card. Suddenly has became mute, after surfing the web I found that I had to activate the loopback module, now is working. That is the first strange thing: suddenly loopback module has disappeared?
But now I have another problem: if I want to watch TV and listen it I have to select the line-in device in Pulseaudio preferences window, but in this way I can't use the mic with Skype and others chat software. To use the mic I have to go in the Pulseaudio preferences window and set the mic 1 option in the input device menu. Further, in this way I can constantly hear my voice in the speakers. That is annoying, Until 15 days ago (approx) ther was no need to make that choice, it was automatic.
How can I fix that ?
Thx so much.
To fix my problem I removed Pulseaudio and now my sound card is working like a charm.
Definitively Pulseaudio is a ballast for the pc and it doesn't give any advantage, only headaches.
I think that Ubuntu must left to the user the choice to use or not Pulseaudio, also some packages like indicator-sound and other releated should support the two systems.
