At first I thought the PPA version was the answer, as audio was working and no more assertion failures were being announced.
However, without running any audio apps (but I did enable system sounds in order to verify that audio was working), in fact the only app I have open is gnome-terminal but not even running any command except top or htop, pulseaudio consumes between 46-57% CPU as reported by top and 70-100% as reported by htop. This results in a system where the mouse pointer moves in real time with my actions, but apps and every other aspect of the desktop UE are very slow to respond, including mouse clicks. -- [karmic] pulseaudio crashes on an assertion failure https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/425028 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
