Hello, I installed pulseaudio with ubuntu-8.4 (beta). Sound worked, but only for a few hours and stopped working - I have no idea what action might have caused it, since it happend while I switched watching a video from my camcorder from one player to another. Since it happend with the ubuntu beta, I filed a bug there: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/206087 Feel free to ask for further details. I am looking for a way to determin, what eats my audio: I use paplay test.wav - and I can not hear anything. pavumeter shows a moving/changing signal -> seems OK It maybe the alsa backend that kills the sound output - but I don't know that. How can I determind which component kills the audio signal? Thanks in advance Joerg
