Sound works for awhile for me, and then it gets stuck on some sound and
plays it over and over. When I quit firefox the sound stops (though it
often continues 30-60 seconds after shutdown). Then when I start up
firefox again, the sound is fine. In the busted state, often there is
no sound for awhile (c 30-60 seconds), then some distorted scraps, and
the the looping effect. This "broken from the start" occurs most
commonly if I've left the browser up for awhile (like a day) and then
try to use sound.
I do not know where in the stack the problem lies; it might be in, e.g.,
the plugin or firefox rather than alsa. Most recently I've been running
into this playing shows at hulu.com; They say they use flash. I'm
running Debian Lenny with the Marillat AV additions.
I'm running under KDE.
I tried setting
options snd_hda_intel position_fix=1
as suggested in
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Help_To_Debug_Intel_HDA.
It didn't help.
I've attached the info from alsa-info.sh.
I'd appreciate any help you could offer.
Thanks.
