I was having issues with Mythtv hard crashing my system. I had previously had the output sound device set directly as my HDMI on my "Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio" I remembered in the past having issues with pulse audio and any other program fighting over the sound card. So I changed Mythtv's output to use pulseaudio in the hopes that it would work with pulseaudio instead of fighting it. This seems to have helped. I have not had a crash since. But the underlying problem worries me. Should fighting for sound card resources crash the computer? Is there a good way to test that this is what was causing my issue? What are some things I can run to give everyone all the information that would be useful. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BPM Camp - Free Virtual Workshop May 6th at 10am PDT/1PM EDT Develop your own process in accordance with the BPMN 2 standard Learn Process modeling best practices with Bonita BPM through live exercises http://www.bonitasoft.com/be-part-of-it/events/bpm-camp-virtual- event?utm_ source=Sourceforge_BPM_Camp_5_6_15&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=VA_SF _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
