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.

Aborted
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
Law
