Public bug reported:
I've upgraded from ubuntu 13.10 and sound stopped working properly. It
works in general. But mutes itself for small period of time in random
intervals.
I've looked at alsamixer and it shown what once in a while some of the
parameters got to the lowest level and then returning to normal after
some time. It is reproing on Speaker. But also Internal Mic Boost jumps
from 100% to 0% and then back to 100%.
I was not able to fine anything in logs. I've also tried to purge
pulseaudio and alsa-base packages and re-installing them again. Nothing
helps.
But I was able to find workaround. Audio works just fine with old
kernels. I've tried with 3.5.0-15 and 3.5.0-27. It works with both
kernels. I've also tried newest kernel from next ubuntu version.
3.15.0-031500rc5 - audio is not working in new kernel.
So seems like something was broken in kernel since ubuntu 13.10.
BTW, when sound mutes on speaker, headphones are still working. So
looks like alsamixer reports volumes correctly.
