Public bug reported: Binary package hint: pulseaudio
01:00.1 Audio device [0403]: nVidia Corporation High Definition Audio Controller [10de:0be3] (rev a1) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device [1043:1bc2] Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 32 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 16 Region 0: Memory at fe97c000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel audio mutes randomly and refuses to play back just about anything. I tried removing pulseaudio, but the same issue happened with Alsa so it seems like there's a driver regression in the intel hda audio driver. There were no problems with Ubuntu 10.04. How to reproduce: 1. skype won't survive a day 2. just after a few hours mplayer refuses to play any audio or video files (just hangs at 0) 3. flash hangs, which on the other side hangs the chrome browser instance, for firefox of course this is a complete death sentence. How to solve that problem: * completely release the audio nodes and open them again (eg. by logging out from the system) but the issue will just happen again. ** Affects: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/752379 Title: Massive audio problems with Ubuntu 10.10 and NVidia HDA -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
