This bug still persists after the pulseaudio upgrade:

Is this still an issue?

I believe so. I have been shutting down instead of hibernating ever since I reported this since I hadn't seen any notes to indicate it was fixed.
I will test this tonight when I get home and report back.

Yes, this is still an issue.
I should note that when I tried to play pandora, the track wouldn't even progress.
What additional logs/details can I provide?
Thanks

lib32-alsa-plugins is installed?

What's the output of "sudo fuser -av /dev/snd/*" and "pacmd list" while the sound works and while it doesn't work?
Also note down which audio app is trying to play at the time.

Yes, as mentioned in the description, lib32-alsa-plugins is installed:
[root@x2 ~]# pacman -Q lib32-alsa-plugins
lib32-alsa-plugins 1.0.24-1

While sound is working:
[root@x2 ~]# fuser -av /dev/snd/*
USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/by-path:
/dev/snd/controlC0: mgelter 3167 F.... pulseaudio
/dev/snd/midiC0D0:
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0c:
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: mgelter 3167 F...m pulseaudio
/dev/snd/pcmC0D1p:
/dev/snd/pcmC0D2p:
/dev/snd/seq:
/dev/snd/timer:
[root@x2 ~]# pacmd list
No PulseAudio daemon running, or not running as session daemon.

After hibernate, when sound is broken:
[root@x2 ~]# fuser -av /dev/snd/*
USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/by-path:
/dev/snd/controlC0: mgelter 3167 F.... pulseaudio
/dev/snd/midiC0D0:

/dev/snd/pcmC0D1p:
/dev/snd/pcmC0D2p:
/dev/snd/seq:
/dev/snd/timer:
[root@x2 ~]# pacmd list
No PulseAudio daemon running, or not running as session daemon.

Interesting that no PulseAudio daemon runs in either case...

Also:
[root@x2 ~]# killall pulseaudio
[root@x2 ~]# killall -9 pulseaudio
[root@x2 ~]# rm -rf ~/.pulse*
[root@x2 ~]# rm -rf /tmp/pulse*
[root@x2 ~]# su - mgelter

Can I provide any other info?

pacmd must be run as mgelter, not root. Also provide the output of "amixer -c0 contents" for both cases, please. pulseaudio -vvvv will provide more information than pulseaudio --start.

Thanks!

I can't find any difference in PA's or ALSA's state. They seem to work properly. Are you sure this is a PA problem and not a driver problem?

I really am not sure about anything...why is audio in Linux so complicated? </troll>

Status?

I no longer use the computer which was experiencing this bug. Since nobody else has reported having this issue, please close it.
Thanks!
