[Bug 577509] Re: Pulseaudio Does Not Start Correctly When Using Bridged Networking

[Brian Knoll]

I changed the status to "confirmed" after testing against the upstream
kernel, because "invalid" didn't seem appropriate any more.  If that
wasn't correct, please let me know which status you would prefer, and/or
change it to another status.  Thanks!

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: pulseaudio
  
  On an install of Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 LTS AMD64, I could reboot the system
  and it would come back up and consistently have audio.  However, once I
  configured a bridged network on my eth0 device in
  /etc/network/interfaces, the system would no longer have audio after a
  reboot.
  
  The bridge is working fine.  My /etc/network/interfaces is configured as
  follows:
  
  --------------------------------------
  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback
  
  # The bridge network interface
  auto br0 
  iface br0 inet dhcp
  bridge_ports eth0 
  bridge_fd 9 
  bridge_hello 2 
  bridge_maxage 12 
  bridge_stp off 
  
  # The primary network interface
  auto eth0
  iface eth0 inet manual
  ------------------------------------------
  
  I can usually get my sound back by running "alsa force-reload" from the
  desktop.  Running this from rc.local during system boot does not work,
  however.
  
  When this happens, my sound hardware is not detected.  No sound hardware
  shows up in "Sound Preferences" under Hardware, and in "Output" all I
  have is a "Dummy Output".  But of course, without the bridge, the
  hardware is detected and everything works.
  
  Bridging is an important feature, and I think it's rather important to
  get this fixed in the LTS release.  Please let me know how I can help
  test or fix things.
