I use Ubuntu Studio 18.04.2, 64 bit Linux (with the extended support) Operating System.
I don't know why but, today one of my desktop PCs doesn't have
pulseaudio
working.
I tried: pulseaudio -k
, first and then: pulseaudio -D
but, I just got the messages:
Fail to stop the daemon because it is not working.
Fail to start the daemon.
So… I went to Synaptic Packages Manager and I uninstalled, first, and then I reinstalled all about pulseaudio
But… It doesn't work!
It doesn't start at startup.
Even more, I tested if I had sound from some apps (audacity
, musescore
, firefox
) and… Nothing! There is no sound!
I have the exactly same Linux OS in my 3 PCs (two desktops and one laptop) and this issue is just present in one of my desktop, only, since today!
I don't know what to do to rescue the pulseaudio
daemon!
What's wrong here?
What can I do to fix this?
BTW: If it could possible…, Can we use ALSA
only? How can we switch between pulseaudio
and ALSA
at any time?
