We don not know if pulseaudio is the culprit. 2. Even if we should know that it is the culprit, depending on the OP's needs, it might be wiser to fix the issue and to use pulseaudio. 3. Assuming regarding the OP needs it should be better to get rid of pulseaudio, then it would be idiotic to disable it, instead of removing it completely. Why should somebody disable it, if it's completely unwanted? If I don't need a package, I don't install it. If something I should need, works without it, but has got a hard dependency to it, I simply build an empty dumm package. Any evidence for the below claim? "Removing or purging PulseAudio from a Ubuntu system can break other installed software and potentially cause errors and broken dependencies." This is just a claim without explanation. As already pointed out, just replace it by a dummy package, you even don't need to recompile software. If needed I could explain how to build a DEB dummy package and how to build an Arch Linux dummy package. I'm using them since pulseaudio does exist without ever experiencing an issue. But again, removing pulseaudio might not what the OP wants? It's just a _possibilities_ that pulseaudio is the culprit for the issues, nobody mentions that it's the cause for the issues.
