A verbose log might have give clues. Ok, I added --log-level=4 and rebooted. The complete log (from boot until playing a stream on the muted device] is available at: http://pastebin.com/V4N7ta0d Maybe interesting is: Okt 08 15:39:42 marduk pulseaudio[454]: could not open configuration file /usr/share/alsa/ucm/Xonar STX/Xonar STX.conf Okt 08 15:39:42 marduk pulseaudio[454]: error: could not parse configuration for card Xonar STX Okt 08 15:39:42 marduk pulseaudio[454]: error: failed to import Xonar STX use case configuration -2 Okt 08 15:39:42 marduk pulseaudio[454]: UCM not available for card Xonar STX Xonar STX is the card I want to use. When I saw this message the first time, I deleted all files in pulse state directory /var/lib/pulse and rebootet, but it still appears. Is there maybe some race condition between kernel module loading for the card (snd_virtuoso) and pulseaudio restore module? Thanks, Florian
