It seems that on Kubuntu Trusty, by default two pulseaudios are running:
$ ps aux|grep pulse
julius    3414  1.1  0.1 588164  7056 ?        S<l  19:38   0:56 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog
julius    3969  0.0  0.1 502228  5520 ?        S<l  19:41   0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog

The log-in process start pulseaudio 2 times and the presence detection
appears to be broken.

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

Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu:
  New

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
