Public bug reported: My 14.04 LTS laptop no longer plays audio, where earlier releases played audio fine.
A strace on alsamixer shows several failures: open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) open("/dev/aloadC0", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) It appears the permissions on /dev/snd/controlC0 weren't properly updated after I logged in: $ getfacl /dev/snd/controlC0 getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: dev/snd/controlC0 # owner: root # group: audio user::rw- user:lightdm:rw- group::rw- mask::rw- other::--- Thanks ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic 3.13.0-24.46 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-24.46-generic 3.13.9 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: sarnold 2895 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Thu May 1 16:20:58 2014 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=81b2976f-2830-4449-9dae-e1d44a43fa78 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-10-18 (560 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120823.1) MachineType: LENOVO 2359CTO ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=7b8c2e1b-d2e6-47d9-9030-c078e9701a1d ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-3.13.0-24-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-3.13.0-24-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.127 SourcePackage: linux UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to trusty on 2014-04-12 (19 days ago) dmi.bios.date: 09/13/2012 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: G4ET62WW (2.04 ) dmi.board.asset.tag: Not Available dmi.board.name: 2359CTO dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: Not Defined dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvrG4ET62WW(2.04):bd09/13/2012:svnLENOVO:pn2359CTO:pvrThinkPadT530:rvnLENOVO:rn2359CTO:rvrNotDefined:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 2359CTO dmi.product.version: ThinkPad T530 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug trusty ** Attachment added: "strace alsamixer" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1315196/+attachment/4102784/+files/alsamixer ** Package changed: linux (Ubuntu) => systemd (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1315196 Title: Audio doesn't work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1315196/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
