So getting to this seems pretty hard. I think we're going to need a startup/shutdown expert to fix this the right way.
Here is what *should* happen, in that order: #1) PulseAudio plays the log-out sound, if any #2) All applications accessing PA should quit #3) PA should store current volume, then quit #4) alsa-utils should mute the card to prepare for shutdown #1 and #2 can go in parallel. What we know so far is that #4 happens before #3 and probably before #2 as well, and #1 does not happen at all ( see bug #214370 ). We should probably try to delay #4 rather than killing PA earlier, to prevent us from making it harder to fix #1. Perhaps we should also prevent PA from autospawning if the runlevel is 0 or 6. -- [Maverick] Sound is always muted on startup; unmuting makes the volume at lowest level https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/592016 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
