ok, let's close lp:1166421 as it was just an usual PulseAudio screwery.

Here is a new bug from 3.8.0-18-generic dmesg :

This change was made by a bot.

[Wladimir Mutel (mwg)]

After this bug, the system hangs on reboot. I need to press&hold Power button to restart it.
This bug is reproduced on next reboot.
Now trying kernel 3.8.7 from mainline PPA

[Wladimir Mutel (mwg)]

Linux version 3.8.7-030807-generic (apw@gomeisa) (gcc version 4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) ) #201304121430 SMP Fri Apr 12 18:32:00 UTC 2013

speakers and microphone work as they should.

so, the bug is most probably caused by some add-on Ubuntu patch.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Can you also test, 3.8.6[0], just to confirm it's not fixed in 3.8.7?

[0] http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.8.6-raring/

[Wladimir Mutel (mwg)]

Linux version 3.8.6-030806-generic (apw@gomeisa) (gcc version 4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) ) #201304051406 SMP Fri Apr 5 18:07:42 UTC 2013

speakers and microphone work
no BUG in dmesg (as well as with 030807-generic)

[Peter Würtz (pwuertz)]

I just experienced the same problem after booting 3.8.0-18-generic for the first time. When booting the previous kernel 3.8.0-17-generic sound works as expected. The bug must have been introduced by the latest patch-set.

[Carlos Corbacho (carlos.corbacho)]

I'm also seeing this traceback now at boot on a MacBook Air 5.2 on Raring with 3.8.0-18-generic (the stock kernel as of 2013-04-17).

I only upgraded this machine yesterday, so I don't have any earlier 3.8.0 kernels to compare to.

[Wladimir Mutel (mwg)]

Audio works well again with kernel 3.8.0-19-generic on my system.
Hopefully fixed.
