After I use Jack, the PulseAudio outputs and inputs are replaced by a dummy device. I've tried to kill PulseAudio and reload Alsa, but the only way I can use an Alsa-based application again is to reboot. I know that there must be a way to fix the problem without rebooting. I have had this problem in multiple Linux distros, including Ubuntu and currently Fedora 19.
Output of service alsa-utils restart
:
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart alsa-utils.service
Failed to issue method call: Unit alsa-utils.service failed to load:
No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status
alsa-utils.service' for details.
And systemctl status alsa-utils.service
:
alsa-utils.service
Loaded: error (Reason: No such file or directory)
Active: inactive (dead)
alsactl kill quit
and alsactl init
proceed with no errors.
sysv
one, doesservice alsa-utils restart
help?pulseaudio -k && sudo alsa force-reload
works for me, and when I messed with pulseaudio setupmv ~/.config/pulse/ ~/.config/pulse.old
solved the problem.
