Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Daniel Letzeisen (dtl131)]

Some people report they need to mute the S/PDIF output in alsamixer to get sound back. Could someone try that?

[Raymond (superquad-vortex2)]

any one can provide pulseaudio log to find out why ca0106 does not work with pa anymore in ubuntu 12.04 if it work on previous ubuntu ?
