Re: [Alsa-user] Could Alsa cause a hard crash?
This wasn't it at all -- Update 2015-05-14 It was still crashing but less with the moving to pulse audio. Because I never had problems before adding my new disk I decided to figure out what all changed I added a disk designed for video recording. (smart tools say it is working good) (doubt this is causing anything but it could be a faulty disk that isn't reporting) I changed the case. I got a Cooler Master HAF XB EVO for easier access to my disks. (highly doubt this is causing anything) I had to re-install from a failed attempt to re-size partitions and raid it. (smart shows these disks to be OK) These two disks I had been using all along with no issues. It is now a raided system. (raiding might be I don't know) My desktop changed from XFCE4 to Gnome 3.14. (Suspecting this) I had always used x11vnc and mythtv frontend and never had the issue before adding my new disk. Today I tried installing XFCE4 and had no problems so far under XFCE4 with it. One good night doesn't prove anything but I think I might be onto something. I fast forwarded ad rewound a lot. Something about Gnome 3.14 and MythTV Frontend I think are causing my system to crash. Alsa has nothing to do with my problem at all. I was not able to crash it from the command line. Thank you all for giving me ways to test all this.

Re: [Alsa-user] Could Alsa cause a hard crash?
mplayer allows it, try the option: -ao alsa:device=devicename Just replace any ',' with '.' and any ':' with '=' in the ALSA device name. For example: mplayer -ao alsa:device:hw=Audigy2 On Thu, Apr 16, 2015 at 11:35 PM, Jeff Sadowski jeff.sadow...@gmail.com wrote: On Thu, Apr 16, 2015 at 1:40 AM, Clemens Ladisch cladi...@googlemail.com wrote: Jeff Sadowski wrote: I think it is a kernel panic but the display is locked with the GUI.

Re: [Alsa-user] Could Alsa cause a hard crash?
Could that be caused by a driver issue? Is there good ways to troubleshoot this? Like I said I have not had it since I switched Mythtv to use pulse audio.
