9.10 Waiting for sound system to respond

[taronski]

Hello out there,

I recently upgraded to Koala hoping that my long standing sound problems would go away... they didn't

Now when I go system/preference/volume control I get a pop up "waiting for sound system to respond" and then nothing happens...

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot

Same problem here, you can use alsamixergui to set the volume until this bug gets (hopefully) fixed.

Same here, after removing pulse audio.

Confirming that renaming the .pulse audio folder in my home directory fixed my issues. So simple!
File client.conf was not rewritten when .pulse folder was recreated.

Go to System->Preferences -> Startup Applications

Make sure you're in the tab 'Startup programs'
-> Click on 'Add'

Name: Pulseaudio daemon
Command:/usr/bin/pulseaudio
Comment: Start the sound daemon

Now logout, then login again
