I found the root cause and wrote it in comments 21 and 22 of the
duplicate bug:

           https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers-
common/+bug/1296425

SUMMARY: ubuntu-drivers-common scripts (sl-modem.py) are calling "aplay
-l" with an empty environment, thus "aplay -l" creates a new
"pulseaudio" process instead of using the session's pulseaudio, which
interferes with sound card recognition (device busy errors). There is a
one liner fix in the comment. Kubuntu calls ubuntu-drivers-common
scripts on login to KDE, but the issue affects also Ubuntu users if they
run any program that calls those scripts, until they restart.

Cheers,
Juan Manuel Cabo

Title:
  USB microphone inputs not detected by Pulseaudio on Kubuntu Trusty

Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I connect an audio device using USB, I can only use it to play
  back stereo sound. Anything else is not detected. I tried it with two
  different devices and they both give me the same result. Neither in
  KDE nor in Google Hangouts, I can use my microphone. It does not show
  up as a selectable input device anywhere.

  ALSA does seem to correctly detect that these USB devices have a
  microphone.

  The microphone of my internal audio does work.

  Ubuntu release is 14.04
  Package version of Pulseaudio is 1:4.0-0ubuntu11
