no sound in glx since installed new ubuntu

[liolak]

ok thanks for the explanation alien,
I tried to uninstall pulseaudio by issuing the fallowing command:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get autoremove pulseaudio

but doing that tell me that it will also remove the package ubuntu-desktop and something tell me that i dont want this to happen.
im actively looking for a clean solution to fix this issue, i will post results as soon as i have found it.

thanks again Alien for your help, it was extremely appreciated

Take a look at this:

Sorry, I can't help you more cause I don't use Ubuntu. Div, z or any other ubuntu user might give better help.

OT, personally I use dmix on Linux and asio4all on windows due to the lower sound latency.

well ive spend all my day looking for a clean fix to that issue, and i could not find one.
so the solution of adding an item in the session startup manager that consist of a killall pulseaudio command seem to be how to do it for now. Doing that make everthing work like it should.

I've had the same problem, and killing pulseaudio indeed works... But then Audacious won't play anything... Even though I set it to use ALSA...

Muh!


EDIT: nevermind, restarting audacious makes it work again.


Waird!

ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package that just pulls in other packages and removing it doesn't cause harm directly.

But it is possible that the package that it pulls in (pulseaudio) is required by other apps.

Also on an update new packages that are required (and pulled in by ubuntu-desktop) would not be installed anymore, possibly breaking your installation. So it could be a good idea to reinstall ubuntu-desktop before updating.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Unfortunately Ubuntu has tried to make a total conversion to Pulseaudio with the most recent releases and across the board it's pretty much broken.

It only shows Ubuntu is getting dumber with each release then.

Aha. I think Pulseaudio does make sense (no, applications shouldn't directly interact with sound devices - most recent hardware has no hardware mixer, there is a *reason* why sound servers exist) and even if there are some transition problems (nasty and annoying) it doesn't make it "dumb". Fedora is also using Pulseaudio and I'm pretty sure SuSE will, too.

Talking about "dumb": There's a lot of pointless Ubuntu bashing around, so it seems.
