On my system, the problem seems to have vanished. I have occasionally rebooted the system, and decided not to kill pulseaudio after boot to test things a bit. To my astonishment, sound works flawlessly, even in skype, games, etc.
Flashplugin in Firefox sometimes locks sound to itself (producing the very same behaviour as described in the bugreport), but after closing the problematic page everything works again. I know that by Launchpad rules my report is sufficient to close this bug (as I am the original reporter), but I think it's wise to wait till at least one more person confirms that the problem is gone. -- PulseAudio prevents programs relying on ALSA to work correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198453 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
