So I just had to have my IR remote so I dug deep into the IR processes.
Bottom line, when the "rc_core" module is loaded it includes many
components, some of which has no meaning to your system.  I learn how
data flowed from the USB IR through the driver and other modules and how
to exclude module components that were not needed. Rebooted, problem
solved.

How to exclude unnecessary module components.
To see module components:
# lsmod | grep rc_core

To exclude the Sanyo Decoder component from rc_core module create a file
in /etc/modules.d.  Use a name that has meaning such as "blacklist-
IR.conf.  Put the following line in that file.  Do the same with other
unneeded elements.

install ir_sanyo_decoder /bin/true


F.Y.I.  Here is what I put in my Blacklist file.

install ir_sony_decoder /bin/true
install ir_jvc_decoder /bin/true
install ir_rc5_decoder /bin/true
install ir_nec_decoder /bin/true
install cx23885 /bin/true
install rc_hauppauge /bin/true
install ir_sanyo_decoder /bin/true

Title:
  lircd start problem

Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If no one else is having lircd(8) problems, ignore this bug report and
  I will make a work around for me.  After upgrading from 13.<what-ever-
  current> to 14.04 my IR remote stopped working, no output from irw(1)
  or mode2(1).  After some digging I found it worked right if I started
  lircd(8) with no argument.  Please note the lines below:

  # grep REMOTE_SOCKET /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
  REMOTE_SOCKET=""
  # service lirc start
  # ps -ef | grep lirc
  root      4601  2201  0 11:34 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/lircd --output=/run/lirc/lircd --device=/dev/lirc0
  # irw (does not work)

  (So I set REMOTE_SOCKET to default settings per manual stating what default is)
  # grep REMOTE_SOCKET /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
  REMOTE_SOCKET="/var/run/lirc/lircd"
  # service lirc start
  # ps -ef | grep lirc
  root      4694  2201  0 11:42 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/lircd --output=/var/run/lirc/lircd --device=/dev/lirc0
  (it looks right but)
  # irw (does not work)

  # ps -ef | grep lirc
  root      4694  2201  0 11:42 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/lircd --output=/var/run/lirc/lircd --device=/dev/lirc0
  # service lirc stop
  (copy command from ps output above and past it as a command)
  # /usr/sbin/lircd --output=/var/run/lirc/lircd --device=/dev/lirc0
  # irw (it works)

  (I know this is usually an environment issue so here is my environment before launching the above /usr/sbin/lircd)
