I can confirm this bug. After upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy sound output stopped working on my M2496 card due to pulseaudio being used as soundserver. This is quite annoying. I have to kill pulseaudio every time I log in to be able to use the soundcard. In fairness, I have not tried any of the above mentioned workarounds to get pulseaudio to work together with the Delta soundcard since I am happy with the way it works when pulseaudio is deactivated.
The file /etc/default/pulseaudio suggests to disable ESD in System->Preferences->Sound to prevent pulseaudio from being loaded by GNOME, which works for me but of course disables all system sounds. Still I think this is nicer than having to kill the process after it has been loaded already. -- Pulseaudio fails to initialize Audiophile 2496 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178442 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
