Hello, I already posted my problem at the PulseaAudio mailing list but they sent me here. Here we go: I try to run my system (ArchLinux)with pulseaudio. More or less successful. After some minutes of playback pulseaudio will just crash. My soundcards are: 0 [CA0106 ]: CA0106 - CA0106 Audigy SE [SB0570] at 0xe800 irq 21 1 [SB ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB HDA ATI SB at 0xf9ff4000 irq 16 I use ca0106 for playback. If I use the hda-intel the crashes don't seem to appear. Last week on ubuntu everything worked fine. So maybe there is a new problem in the driver? This is the log of pulseaudiohttp://pastebin.com/xdrJkdmv This time, before pulseaudio died my complete system froze for one second, twice. An excerpt from the log that seems suspicous to me: E: alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write! E: alsa-sink.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_ca0106'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers. E: alsa-sink.c: We were woken up with POLLOUT set -- however a subsequent snd_pcm_avail() returned 0 or another value< min_avail. I already did some research on this. There are old reports about this and a lot of recent bug reports. Some of them are from ubuntu lucid bug reports. So maybe there is a problem now with something. But I was not able to find a proper fix for it. I find those reports about my problem with hda-intel as well as ca0106. Any ideas what I can do about this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
