Hi, I'm on Fedora 10 (x86_64). For some days I experience some sound problems: Rhythmbox does not plays music anymore. Furthermore all other sounds are not played as well after that. Step by step: 1. start rhythmbox 2. select a song (ogg) and click play => Title bar shows the song's title => pulseaudio volumne control shows it too (only the title, no sound data shown) However: - No sound - no progress in rhythmbox (progress bar stays at the beginning) - play button in rhythmbox does not change its symbol to pause - besides that, rhythmbox is still responsive, I can switch to other songs but still no sound. 3. After that no app (e.g. totem) can play sound (they don't hang, just no sound). If I reboot, I can play sounds using other applications like totem. If I kill pulseaudio (pulseaudio -k), it will respawn another instance but that one only finds the NullOutput so no sound as well. lspci/sound card: 00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) In the syslog I can see: pulseaudio[5082]: module-alsa-sink.c: Error opening PCM device front:0: device or resource busy.
