Check if you have the .asoundrc file in your home folder:
Code:
cat $HOME/.asoundrc
That file is used to redirect the sounds to the pulseaudio server. It should have something like:
Code:
pcm.pulse {
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
in it. If pulseaudio is removed, the "pulse" device will not be created thus the redirection cannot work. Deleting/renaming this file + restarting the alsa server solves this issue:
Code:
mv $HOME/.asoundrc $HOME/.asoundrc-bak
sudo service alsa-utils restart
