hi, i'm using pulseaudio under ubuntu hardy, with an uptodate hardy package ( 0.9.10-1ubuntu1). Pulse has worked great for me since shortly after i installed it, some months ago. i do have an occasional problem on wakeup after suspend to ram, where sound disappears; usually i reboot and the problem goes away. yesterday i had this issue, and tried a couple of things to fix it -- modprobe -r snd_hda_intel, /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart, pulseaudio --kill.... nothing seemed to fix my problem, so i rebooted. on reboot i found thatt pulse STILL wasn't working -- clients could connect to the server, and the volume manager still displayed their streams as per normal, but theo nly sound that was produced was a low-volume staticky output from my laptop's speakers. in dispair, i killed pulseaudio and tried listening directly using the ALSA sink in my player (vlc first, then rhythmbox and amarok). all of these seem to work. so it seems to me i messed up my pulseaudio set up somehow, but i didn't play with any configuration files, and I don't know how whatever it is i did could have survived several successive reboots. the only errors i get in syslog look like this: > Oct 12 20:59:05 gont pulseaudio[6969]: module-alsa-sink.c: Got POLLERR from ALSA > Oct 12 20:59:05 gont pulseaudio[6969]: module-alsa-sink.c: Got POLLERR from ALSA > Oct 12 21:28:28 gont pulseaudio[6965]: socket-server.c: socket(PF_INET6): Address family not supported by protocol > Oct 12 21:28:28 gont pulseaudio[6965]: socket-server.c: socket(PF_INET6): Address family not supported by protocol the POLLERR messages are from before my problem began; the "address family not supported" messages begin when my problem starts. i tried disabling network support in paprefs; this makes the error messages go away but doesn't solve my problem. i'd love to solve this problem -- if there's anything you can suggest.... thanks much! matt -- Matt Price matt.price at utoronto.ca
