Hi Raymond -- thank you very much for taking the time to look at this. after many hours of fiddling and reading... I finally Uninstalled PulseAudio ...
and now sound works great! not really the correct answer, but at least I finally have a usable system. >> do the stereo HDMI codec really need speaker allocation from your HDMI tv? I don't understand the question... I do often hook up my laptop to a tv, but it was not hooked up when I collected the bug data. The settings you see are default values. Also there is a bug in that the laptop monitor exists twice in the display config, but I don't see how this has a bearing on the problem with sound. ** Attachment added: "xrandr.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1292438/+attachment/4026526/+files/xrandr.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1292438 Title: BETA 14.04 cant connect to PulseAudio server To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1292438/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
