Pulseaudio, probably. This sounds like what happens when the pulseaudio daemon dies. Check your system logs - there'll be some pretty straightforward messages from pulseaudio if it's crashing. You didn't mention what kernel version you're running, or what pulseaudio version, or what audio hardware, so all I can really do is give you wild guesses about what's happening, and why. But the most likely explanation is that PA died. The most common reason for it to die is bugs in the ALSA drivers, usually intel8x0 or intel-hda. If you're still running the original F11Beta kernel - update kernel and pulseaudio, reboot, and see if things are any better. Otherwise, check your system log, then look through the pulseaudio bug reports and kernel bug reports about audio - esp. the ones on the F11Blocker list - and if you can't find your problem, file a bug. Include the pulseaudio log messages and dmesg output that pertains to ALSA/snd modules. -w -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
