Raymond I am having trouble with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log Maybe I don't understand the instructions...
"You have probably come here because you have a problem with PulseAudio, and someone asked you to provide a PulseAudio verbose log. Here's how to do that: Open a terminal, then enter these commands: echo autospawn = no >> ~/.config/pulse/client.conf #use ~/.pulse/client.conf on Ubuntu <= 12.10 killall pulseaudio LANG=C pulseaudio -vvvv --log-time=1 > ~/pulseverbose.log 2>&1 Do what you need to reproduce the bug. Switch back to the terminal and press Ctrl-C to stop PulseAudio. Open your Launchpad bug and attach the file ~/pulseverbose.log (in your home directory) to that message. To return your system to a clean state again, edit ~/.pulse/client.conf with your favorite editor and remove the line "autospawn = no". If the file is now empty, you can just as well delete it. Then log out and log in again. Last but not least - thanks for helping out! " Is that three seperate commands? i.e. echo autospawn = no >> ~/.config/pulse/client.conf #use ~/.pulse/client.conf on Ubuntu <= 12.10 I tried: echo autospawn = no >> ~/.config/pulse/client.conf #use ~/.pulse/client.conf on Ubuntu <= 12.10 and got: kerry@kerry-MS-7125:~$ echo autospawn = no >> ~/.config/pulse/client.conf #use ~/.pulse/client.conf on Ubuntu <= 12.10 bash: /home/kerry/.config/pulse/client.conf: No such file or directory tried: kerry@kerry-MS-7125:~$ echo autospawn = no >> ~/.config/pulse/client.conf bash: /home/kerry/.config/pulse/client.conf: No such file or directory sorry... i am certainly doing something foolish but don't understand. very sorry. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1299857 Title: [CA0106 - CA0106, playback] Background noise or low volume To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1299857/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
