Josh, I installed puvucontrol and it indeed, it shows up the application playing some music/audio after resume (I used the preferences/gnome- sound utility which is even more standard than Totem or Rhythmbox). BUT, you can't hear ANYTHING. You have to restart the alsa daemon to get audio. The bug is real and it happens with these older Thinkpads. It is 100% reproducible. Nothing is muted, nothing is blocked, but you still can't hear a thing. It's just that the speaker is not initialized after sleep resume and you have to restart alsa to get it back (even if alsa IS asked to be re-started in the /events/resume/ ACPI scripts, it requires you to do that as a user too manually).
As for these pulseaudio "perfect setup" ideas, I simply refuse to spend an hour just to make sound work after resume-- and IF it's going to work even after doing all that, you can't guarantee me that it's going to work if I put all that work down --. This is a case where Canonical buys you a second hand Thinkpad and you sit down and you fix it for us. The bug is real, it's been confirmed a hundred times, and it's an embarrassing one if you ask me. -- Pulseaudio is blocking normal sound after resume https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202089 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
