Hi all,
Since upgrading from F10 to F11 several weeks ago, I have been having
recurring problems with audio, and I am having difficulty figuring out what
is going on.
To start with, when Gnome starts up, sounds works fine in all apps.
Then it dies. Not while I am using the system; during inactivity, so I don't
get any leads. The volume sliderbar, ie, Sound Preferences applet still
"sees" the audio device (in earlier times, when sound died, the Sound
Preferences no long recognized the audio device).
I try to restarting nasd, no luck.
I logout, login again, Gnome restarts, sounds works now.
Before you log out and back in, fire up a terminal and check to see if
pulseaudio is still running. If it quits, your audio goes away.
Assuming your login name is part of the "pulse-rt" group (if not, put
it in there), you can try to restart pulse by doing:
pulseaudio --start
as the desktop user...NOT root. See if your sound is back.
Wild guess: something to do with Flash. From dmesg:
$ dmesg | grep npviewer
npviewer.bin[12200]: segfault at b6fa7030 ip 007c6ccd sp bf9cb688 error 4 in
libpthread-2.10.1.so[7bf000+16000]
npviewer.bin[20778] general protection ip:130a31c sp:bff88450 error:0 in
libflashplayer.so[f9c000+96d000]
npviewer.bin[11448] general protection ip:116b31c sp:bfc9bdf0 error:0 in
libflashplayer.so[dfd000+96d000]
Is npviewer "taking down" the audio when it segfaults?
I also see this line in dmesg, but it scarcely seems important:
hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #0. Suggest a bigger
bdl_pos_adj.
Can someone give me some ideas on how to figure out what is happening here?
It could be flash. It appears that it is still a problematic
application. You may try to increase Pulse's log level:
pacmd log-level = 4
Hopefully the next crash will leave some traces in one of the logs.
