Title:
  No audio under X (only when booted to text mode) - MS-7549, Realtek
  ALC888, Green Line Out, Rear  Pulseaudio fails to detect card

Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When booting in graphics mode, direct to Unity, sound seems to work
  fine.

  When booting in text mode, sound works at the console level; apps like
  mpg123 play properly with either pulseaudio or alsa drivers. However,
  after starting X, apps (mpg123, xine, totem, etc.) do not report
  errors and appear to be operating properly, but also do not generate
  any audio. Looking at the Sound panel in gnome-control-center, no
  devices are listed under the "Hardware" tab and only "Dummy Output"
  under the "Output" tab (in contrast to the 4 audio outputs listed when
  booting in graphics mode).

  In some cases, the app trying to do audio starts thrashing the CPU (or
  it may be X thrashing it on the app's behalf), and Ctrl-Alt-F2 to a
  text console and killing the app is the only way to make the system
  usable again.

  The audio behavior is the same whether I start X with Unity or a
  traditional window manager like WindowMaker.

  I have tried steps 1-7 under
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting without
  success. Since I'm getting sound at console level, it's clearly not a
  matter of the drivers not being present at all and the "Manual
  Installation" step seems inapplicable.
