Agreed, these are the same bug. Confirming this one. See my duplicate for details of what I observe. It looks like pretty much everything I mentioned there has been covered here. One exception is that I have once observed the problem happen while in the middle of playing sound. In that scenario, the sound card keeps replaying the last few hundred milliseconds of sound until pulseaudio is killed.
Also, every time I've tried kill -15 it hasn't worked. ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- Can't play sound becuse of pulseaudio hang https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288093 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
