The other day my sound stopped working on Ubuntu 18.04 desktop. I have no clue why. The sound stopped working overnight for some reason. After some research I found the below command to restart the sound service on Ubuntu:
pulseaudio -k && sudo alsa force-reload
All works now! Give it a try and let me know if it works for you. Follow me on Twitter @itprohelper
Worked perfectly for me! I am running Ubuntu 20.04.2 on a Veriton M6610G
the output from this command:
/sbin/alsa: Warning: Processes using sound devices: 35252(pulseaudio).

Has a FAILED in the first ALSA sound driver modules output – My question is – Is there any value in analyzing this????
This worked for me!
I’m glad this solution worked for you.
worked perfectly on Pop!_OS 20.04 LTS, sound was garbled and delayed and this solved the trick
I’m glad this was helpful! Cheers…
Thank you! Thank you!
