Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

was testing speakers win tested right front speaker no sound then crash

I was unable to verify this when I tried switching between a USB headset and internal speakers back and forth several times.
Is there anything else that could be of interest here? Like, was there any specific application playing back when you did this?
Is your pulseaudio configuration manual/non-standard in some way?

When I was watching some flash video on YouTube, I tried switch from my laptop headphone jack, internal speakers and my external USB n700 Logitech speakers. There was two options a digital and analog for those speakers. When I switch between all of the options the sound crashed. Had to restart to get it to work again. Sure enough though when I would do the same thing the sound would crash again. I don't know if this is specific to my hardware or if it's some bug that came about during my upgrade to 12.04. Oh almost forgot, my pulseaudio configuration is standard. No modifications.

@Mark, thanks. Not sure if it will help against crashing, but the digital profile (for USB) shouldn't be there.

You should be able to remove it by editing /usr/share/alsa/cards/USB-Audio.conf, and find the
"Logitech USB Speaker" 999

Right after that line, add another line saying:
"Logitech Speaker Lapdesk N700" 999

(Including both the quotes and the 999)

You can reboot to make this change take effect.

> "Logitech USB Speaker" 999

Sorry, I mean

"Logitech USB Headset" 999

I had a pulse-audio update that I didn't apply until today. Seems to have fixed the bug. Sorry to sound like a noob, but how do I mark it as fixed?

I original thought the pulse audio update would fix this, but it didn't. However what you had suggested David worked as far as I can tell. I'll keep testing for a few days to see if this bug is squashed. Thanks for your help.

Same crash with a Logitech H800 wireless headset. When I plug the USB dongle, 2 devices appears in Sound Settings/Output:
- Digital Output (S/PDIF)
- Analog Output

When I switch from Analog to Digital (e.g click on the wrong line to switch sound output) I get this crash.

This is on an up to date Precise amd64 system.

This solution from David might work.

"@Mark, thanks. Not sure if it will help against crashing, but thedigital profile (for USB) shouldn't be there.

Instead of N700, replace it with what it says in the sound settings under the digital output. Should say something like Logitech Wireless Headset H800. To edit the USB-Audio.conf you'll first need to press alt-F2 then type in gksudo nautilus . Follow the rest of the steps listed above.

I don't know if this will work for you, but seems to have fixed my problem.

@Mark, you can change the status from "Incomplete" to "Fix Released" by clicking on the label "Incomplete" or the pencil icon right next to it.

I'm reopening this one due to the fact that we still see reports for this bug on errors.ubuntu.com in the latest version of PulseAudio.

Got this one on raring today, switching (a couple of times) between HDMI audio, BT headset and internal speaker.

100% reproducible on Yakkety:
0. I have USB sound card Creative SB Omni Surround 5.1 (works in stereo and 5.1 output modes)
1. Current mode is stereo
2. Play song in Clementine (current exact version is 1.3.1-209-g1f95a23)
3. Decrease system volume slightly
4. Change output mode to 5.1
5. PulseAudio crashes in 100% of cases

This bug appears to be an older form of bug 1556439.

Up to and including 14.04: this bug
But in 14.10 and later...: bug 1556439

Users of Ubuntu 14.10 and later please use bug 1556439.

Fix released (zero crashes reported after 14.04)
