Sporadic Sound Issues in Fedora 10

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I am on Fedora 10 x86_64, use KDE, and have had sporadic sound issues for quite some time.

The motherboard is an MSI M-7368 using the onboard sound controller. It is an ATI 690 chipset. There are two outputs: and HDMI and and an analog jack. I use analog audio jack. This is the HDA ATI SB (ALC888 Analog).

I have PulseAudio installed. Sometimes it works but usually I receive a system notifcation from phonon that PulseAudio Does Not Work, falling back to HD ATI SB. In these cases, the system continues to produce sound and I can listen to music, watch videos, etc. However, sometimes, this fails too. In which case I get the Phonon message that HD ATI SB doesn't work, falling back to HDA HDMI. Since I don't have an HDMI connection to this PC, this leaves me without sound.

Output of alsa-info is here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=c959788737911611207b7493cae2fb99a7cfe2c2

In a failed state, if I run "ps -e|grep pulse" there are no processes for PulseAudio running. If I then manually try to run 'pulseaudio", the output is:

pulseaudio

Soft CPU time limit exhausted, terminating.

The only way I have found to restore sound is to reboot. Sometimes it works, sometimes I must reboot again. Eventually, sound will be restored. Sometimes it lasts for a while (days/weeks) before failure. Other times, it fails within minutes.

Thank you for any help
