I get bit by this every so often; if there's a question of hardware involved, I'm running the following:
$ lspci|grep audio 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) Additionally, I got no other error messages before the "Failed to push data into queue" one, and it happened when I was far, far away from the machine. The following is from /var/log/user.log: Dec 5 03:48:44 adam-linux pulseaudio[3518]: protocol-native.c: Failed to push data into queue Dec 5 03:48:45 adam-linux last message repeated 2418 times -- 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
