I think I have the same problem. I'm running a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04 64bits on a HP Pavilion DV6338se. If I start, for example, Amarok and after Skype, Skype says it is unable to use the sound device:
"ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave" If I run "killall pulseaudio", Skype starts working. I've attached the lspci -vvnn and dmesg in case this can be helpful. Please let me know if I can help providing more information or testing. ** Attachment added: "dmesg.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14300471/dmesg.log -- Pulseaudio is blocking normal sound after resume https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202089 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
