[Bug 1296425] Re: pulseaudio is started twice - effectively making device management impossible.

 

I tried applying the patch in comment 22 to my 14.04 installation
(3.13.0-39-generic, upgraded from 12.04) and rebooting, but it didn't
solve the problem with my Logitec webcam microphone. I still get the
same error.

ubuntu-drivers-common 1:0.2.91.7 is the currently installed version.

Are they any other scripts that might be doing the same thing?

Bug description:
  
  On the current kubuntu 14.04 live-image (and for a 13.10 upgraded system) pulseaudio is running twice. This makes attaching/deattaching of usb-headset and other stuff impossible because the two instances fight ove rthe events.

  Tow reproduce just boot up the current image and do a "ps -ef | grep
  pulseaudio"
