In my case, I find that sometimes (randomly) the pulseaudio dies. That's
when I get this error. (Reproducible).
Starting pulseaudio with pulseaudio clears this problem for me.
Amarok started to showing this bug some days ago, but only today I had
time to try to fix it. No media applications was able to play sound. The
only thing that worked was killing esd, so everything started working.
Now, according to my logs, the last thing related to xine that was

So I followed the instructions
I was able to fix this by first killing npviewer.bin (after using lsof |
grep pcm to find which process was holding onto the sound), then using
sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart and then sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils
restart. Restarting alsa-utils alone did not fix it. Thanks.

This bug is quite likely not a problem with Amarok 2, most of which has
been completely rewritten. As such I am closing this bug as fixed.

I'm using kubuntu intrepid and I've found a way to reproduce the issue:
1) listen to an mp3 which lyrics is not found automatically
2) search for the lyrincs on the web clicking on the link in the lyrics tab and
now kfmclient takes control of the sound device as the output of lsof | grep
snd
This bug affected me too. I tried all the solutions mentioned, including
installing the extra xinelibs. I don't know if it is a bug with
pulseaudio as I didn't seem to have pulseaudio installed and was still
experiencing the error. I installed pulseaudio and started it, to see if
it would help,
Woops.
Turns out it was a Java application for me, (as GrayFox mentioned).
Closing Vuze (aka Azureus), brought the sound back. I guess I'll be
looking for the option to turn off sound notifications in Vuze then...

Yeah, I'm finding killing the process (at whichever run level) isn't a
consistent fix, and using the /etc/init.d/pulseaudio script doesn't

I am also affected and I run Ibex 64, KDE 4.1. I do not get sound
