I had a similar problem on Maverick. The sound would stop randomly, if I used Rhythmbox and it was mid-way through a track it would halt playing. If it was a website playing a video Firefox would halt and the screen go grey. I had to kill alsa and restart it in a terminal, which brought everything back up. This started happening around two months ago.
Thinking I had caused a problem with an old installation I opted to do a clean install of Natty on Friday. I still have problems with the audio. At the moment the sound randomly cuts out and if I wait for a minute the driver will click in again. I have submitted this report to a thread on the ubuntuforums.org site: http://www.alsa- project.org/db/?f=dfd9dcb772dfe23e863f1aca4419cd562fe09339 dmesg reports: [ 11.436096] intel8x0_measure_ac97_clock: measured 55771 usecs (2687 samples) [ 11.436104] intel8x0: clocking to 48000 It appears a few people are reporting similar issues, is this a problem with a kernel release? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/704809 Title: sound stop working -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
