Hi,
I'm running Kubuntu Trusty amd64, and am having issues with Phonon (which I didn't have in previous releases).
USB audio has never been a problem for me. I've been using an external Creative USB sound card (from now on, referred to as SC) as my default output since 13.04 (my laptop's on-board soundcard sucks....as they all do!), and had never encountered any issues until now.
Since I installed 14.04 (fresh install), Phonon is proving kind of buggy. Half of the time it doesn't recognize my Ext. SC, regardless of which port I plug it into (USB 2.0 or 3.0 ports. Usually, it worked on either one of them). I often have to unplug it and plug it back in up to 5-6 times until my system recognizes it. The issue is not the SC itself, as it worked flawlessly under Kubuntu 13.10 Live Session, as well as Chakra Fritz.
Am just wondering if anyone else is having similar issues with phonon, whether this is a generalized problem in this release, or perhaps a buggy installation - and any possible workarounds there might be.
Thanks a ton, in advance, to anyone who can spare a few minutes to reply!
