+ | ====== Removing Pulse Audio from Ubuntu 8.10 (Ibex) ====== | ||
+ | The following information was copied from the Ubuntu Forums at the URL below. I've copied it here for my own reference and to ensure the resource doesn't "go away". I edited it slightly for readability in this wiki. | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | I removed pulse audio because it would often just stop playing audio. Sometimes I could fix it by killing the pulseaudio processes, sometimes not. I lived with these problems for months, then I decided to remove it. I'm glad I did. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Original Authors Words ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | First things First. Remove the packages though Bash. | ||
+ | |||
+ | sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio | ||
+ | sudo apt-get install esound | ||
+ | |||
+ | You may want to back this up. | ||
+ | |||
+ | sudo rm /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70pulseaudio | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now this is done you will want check your Gnome Preferences. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Under System -> Preferences -> Sound | ||
+ | Make sure they are all set to 'Autodetect'. | ||
+ | The only one you will have to set manually to ALSA is 'Sound Capture' under 'Audio Conferencing'. | ||
+ | Note at this point Pulseaudio is now nolonger an option under these drop menus. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Under System -> Preferences -> Sessions | ||
+ | Deselected or Remove the Pulseaudio Manager | ||
+ | |||
+ | The last part is one I think a lot of people have missed. Your asoundrc's under your Home Directory are still configured for Pulse. | ||
+ | |||
+ | cd ~ | ||
+ | rm .asound* (Again! You may want to back this up) | ||
+ | |||
+ | One this is done your back to ALSA's default configuration. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This worked a charm for me and found all my software picked up Dmix and Dsnoop. | ||
+ | I hope it does wonders for you.. Good Luck. |
