I have no sound in application like Firefox. I do have system sounds (like the pop sound when you change volume).
I recently upgraded from 17.04 to 18.04 (big mistake!)
Pulseaudio seems to be broken:
$ pulseaudio -D
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed.
I have tried:
- Restarting
- Reinstalling Pulseaudio
- Reinstalling alsa
These lines seem important:
$ pulseaudio -v
...
: [pulseaudio] (alsa-lib)utils.c: could not open configuration file /usr/share/alsa/ucm/HDA NVidia/HDA NVidia.conf

I: [pulseaudio] (alsa-lib)main.c: error: failed to import HDA NVidia use case configuration -2
I: [pulseaudio] alsa-ucm.c: UCM not available for card HDA NVidia

Any ideas?
