    Upgrade to 12.10 broke sound/pulseaudio

    I have already posted in Ubuntu Forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2157891&p=12724443#post12724443



    My specs: Thinkpad T61
    Kubuntu 12.10 64-bit
    KDE 4.10.4
    Kernels tested: 3.5.0-34-generic, 3.5.0-34-lowlatency, 3.9-6.dmz.2-liquorix-amd64
    groups: *USER* adm disk dialout cdrom audio www-data plugdev fuse lpadmin netdev admin sambashare pulse vboxusers jupiter realtime

    Cannot get parts of my sound system to work.

    Ever since pulseaudio started being included in kde (I have had same system since before kde4), my single soundcard has multiplexed into many confusing variants in my sound device list. Before, I managed to move around these device to the right position by using the test button. After I upgraded to 12.10(foolishly, but I wanted a working nepomuk) ALL of my sound stopped working. After hours of purging/reinstalling pulseaudio, editing .asoundrc/alsa.conf/pulseaudio.conf I managed to get phonon to recognize my Intel soundcard again(the extra cards came back as well). I managed to get Amarok/VLC and the phonon tester to work, but not sound from Firefox(Iron sound works fine) and MOST importantly: I could not get jack to work for my music creation stuff.

    I get an error:
    Code:
    ALSA: Cannot open PCM device alsa_pcm for playback. Falling back to capture-only mode
    Cannot initialize driver
    JackServer::Open failed with -1

    }
    
    ctl.pulse {
        type pulse
    }
    Pulseaudio makes KDE require users to have well-rounded linux expertise to troubleshoot. This has struck beyond my expertise. It would be nice to Reset the sound system configurations. But purging/reinstalling pulseaudio did nothing. I wanted to just upgrade again to the next dist-release, but I only have 1.59GB left on root(to upgrade requires more than 2GB), and I can't resize root. I am however, considering moving /var to the same partition as /home which would give me enough space.

    My belief is that the problem is with the card order. Here is my /proc/asound/cards:
    Code:
    0 [VirMIDI        ]: VirMIDI - VirMIDI
                          Virtual MIDI Card 1
     1 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                          HDA Intel at 0xfe020000 irq 51
    29 [ThinkPadEC     ]: ThinkPad EC - ThinkPad Console Audio Control
                          ThinkPad Console Audio Control at EC reg 0x30, fw 7KHT24WW-1.08
    Sometimes sound in Firefox works but then regresses without changs being made. I don't like this feature ...
