I started getting this problem a few days after upgrading to Intrepid. While restarting PulseAudio manually (like kylea) was making it work, I was getting fed up and found this issue. Taking Luke's advice and disabling the gnome sound events then restarting worked a treat. I was then able to re-enable them, restart, and everything is working as expected. The steps were basically:
1. Login (actually, it was an auto login - could this be the source of the problem?) 2. Apps couldn't connect to PA 3. gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds false 4. Restart 5. Test PA using the PA Setup and also check sound plays in Banshee - no probs. 6. gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds true 7. Immediately hear the Ubuntu login sound playing 8. Restart 9. Auto login and Ubuntu login sound plays, Banshee plays, PA Setup works, etc... I'm unsure what /desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds was set to prior to the changes (I should have checked). Maybe it wasn't set and defaulting back to the schema value? I can't understand though why setting to false then true would have solved the problem. -- pulseaudio errors during boot up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286430 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
