I have had this issue since 8.04(introduction of pulseaudio) happening on 5 different systems.
the only way to stop the sound from failing is to do a apt-get remove pulseaudio if pulseaudio is buggy why is it in a production version of Ubuntu -- After 8.04->8.10 upgrade sound stopped working hda-intel + ALC888 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/303821 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
