> I am assuming that the pulse sound server is neccessary for audio production!?
No, most likely you want JACK on top of ALSA for audio production, with pulseaudio suspended or disabled. Without pulseaudio, however, many regular desktop applications will require reconfiguration -if they allow it- to work properly. Ideally you want pulseaudio running until you want to run professional audio apps, at which point you suspend pulseaudio to run the JACK daemon (e.g., runinng 'pasuspend qjackctl'; it might be that qjackctl already does this for you). On a different note, could an Ubuntu developer look at the solutions proposed in this thread and say whether any is an acceptable fix to get into Lucid? And if not, what would a good solution look like? The bug has been upstreamed to both pulseaudio and ALSA, but neither has committed a fix. I think Ubuntu would do well in maintaining a fix while this is resolved, with Lucid being LTS and all. -- Pulseaudio fails to initialize ICE1712 chipsets https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178442 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
