** Description changed: - Binary package hint: gnome-volume-manager + Binary package hint: volume-control It is unfortunately common for applications to crash locking up the alsa sound system preventing sounds functioning (recreateable in all distributions by forceably terminating an active xine application) In my case common culprits Totem Firefox+Flash Amarok and Xine based players. As an experienced user i know restarting alsa will resolve this however for a novice user this is a difficult task possibly requiring a full reboot. the addition of a object on the context menu of the volume control entitled "Restart Sound System (ALSA)" (Attached) or similar with the attached action `gksu /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart` could become a potent resolution. Addition of this button to the Volume Control Application could be beneficial also. -- Add Restart Alsa to Gnome Volume Control Applet Submenu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231369 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-volume-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
