Bug Description
Hello everybody. I posted a message with logs and updated info here:

A couple of days ago I installed Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 in my pc alongside Windows 7 and Linux Mint 15. I was really happy to see my Roland UA-55 Quad-Capture soundcard recognized and working for the first time in Ubuntu! Everything was running just fine: Youtube, mp3, videos,... I even installed Ardour and checked that the inputs of the card were usable too. Well, today I have realized that Ubuntu has gone mute. The card is still recognized in the Sound Settings menu but no sound is coming out of it. I have tried several guides I have found around but to no avail. And, what is worse and more strange, I have just reinstalled and it hasn't solved my problem. Could anyone shed some light here?
Thanks in advance for your time.

I used pulseaudio -k and pulseaudio -D to try to reset pulseaudio while I was writing this bug. It looks it was stopped ok but it didn't start back. The soundcard doesn't show now in Settings > Sound > Output. Instead it says Dummy Output.
