Hi- I have a very strange situation. After a kernel upgrade, I get a crash if I run alsamixer in urxvt. If I run it in xterm or terminal, or by ssh, then it works. If I *then* run it in urxvt it works, although it pauses for a split second at the moment where it normally crashes. The crash is a heavy one - the machine is not pingable, and doesn't respond to magic sysrq. I tried deleting /etc/asound.conf and /etc/asound.state, and I don't have any ~/.asoundrc. I can run amixer without a problem. I'm using Archlinux, kernel is 2.6.31 on AMD 64. My alsa-utils version is 1.0.21. johncc@liberator:~$ cat /proc/asound/modules 0 snd_emu10k1 1 snd_intel8x0 The cards are a Soundblaster Audigy 2 Value, and an onboard nVidia CK804 AC'97. I managed to get some strace of the crash by remounting / as sync, but I'm not sure how useful it is. To avoid spamming the list with it, here it is: http://pastebin.com/m221acd0c Can anyone suggest where the problem might be? Thanks in advance.
