Hi,
I wanted to install Trusty on my Elitebook 850 G1 with hybrid graphics (Intel / AMD) but pulseaudio goes nuts on me as soon as I try to play any music / sound, try to change volume, etc.
I've tried it with Ubuntu, Kubuntu and now with Xubuntu with the same result everytime.
My guess is that pulseaudio has problems with the AMD GPU and it's sound processor being switched off automatically as enabled by Kernerl 3.13 (formerly achieved by adding the radeon.runpm=1 kernel parameter)
(http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2013-September/045650.html)
root@HP-EliteBook-850-G1:~# cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch

1:DIS: :DynOff:0000:03:00.0
2:DIS-Audio: :Off:0000:03:00.1
As you can see, the AMD GPU has been turned off automatically. Pulseaudio, the (X)Ubuntu volume applet and KMix on the other hand list it as still available.
Based on that I asume pulseaudio tries to access a switched-off device and fails.
I've followed the steps listed
here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems
and
here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log
I'll attach the logs right away. (pulseverbose1.log and my dmesg output)
Pusleverbose is full of messages like this one:
( 0.013| 0.000) I: [pulseaudio] alsa-util.c: Error opening PCM device hw:0: No such file or directory
This output of dmesg also caught my attention:
[ 354.927935] HDMI ATI/AMD: no speaker allocation for ELD
[ 357.695010] hda-intel 0000:03:00.1: Disabling via VGA-switcheroo
One thing I noticed using Kubuntu is that after pulseaudio becomes unresponsive the taskmanager lists 4 pulseaudio processes two of which are "active on harddrive" ("Aktiv auf Festplatte"). Those two processes cannot be killed even as root.
Currently being on Xubuntu the same thing is true, although it lists only one process in the taskmanager that cannot be killed.
I hope you can help me.
Best regards,
Paul
