Another symptom of the recent broken ALSA sound is that when I shut down, the system hangs while trying to shut down ALSA.
I tried Yuval Tal's suggestion and edited /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70pulseaudio to comment out the code that loads pulseaudio. Then I rebooted, and ALSA sound is working again: # If we are loading a GNOME session, load pulseaudio. #if [ "$BASESTARTUP" = gnome-session -o \ # \( "$BASESTARTUP" = x-session-manager -a \ # "`readlink /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager`" = \ # /usr/bin/gnome-session \) ]; then # STARTUP="/usr/bin/pulse-session $STARTUP" #fi -- [intrepid] alsa is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280534 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
