I am having sound issues in Ubuntu 14, mostly underruns causing skips and ugly noises and I want to remove pulse audio in an attempt to debug.
But when I do this breaks system settings in ubuntu. Fixing this by installing 'ubuntu-desktop' or 'unity' result in pulse being reinstalled.
I have blacklisted a few drivers I'm not using with not positive or negative effect. I have also tried removing pulse and removing the ~/.pulse folder before reinstalling.
Any help appreciated.
