Dear all,
I have a very annoying sound problem on my computer that I'm unable to
solve. I asked in multiple forums but I never found the solution.
I had the same issue in two distributions, first in Ubuntu and now in
Fedora.
My computer used to work fine with Ubuntu, but after a system upgrade
the sound stopped working. I moved to Fedora 21 because I couldn't find
a solution and, surprise, I had the same issues.
The problem is that the sound of my Fedora mutes some minutes after
using voice IP (Skype for instance) or watching videos via my browser
(Firefox or Chrome). The time with both sound and application working
varies.
If I reboot, I have sound again. A Skype conversation stops the sound,
watching youtube stops the sound. However, the microphone continues working.
A secondary effect of this problem is that once the sound is muted, the
browser videos (from YouTube for instance) are not showing well. They
are usually shown in slow-motion (not always).
I tried multiple things. alsamixer (automute is disable) and pavucontrol
settings are the same with and without the system muted. Killing
pulseaudio and restarting pulseaudio doesn't work. Re-installing alsa
doesn't work either.
With the sound muted:
- it's only pulseaudio using the sound device.
fuser -v /dev/snd/*
USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/controlC0: ****** 19002 F.... pulseaudio
- aplay seems to play a wav sample but without output sound
aplay Yamaha-TG100-Whistle-C5.wav
Playing WAVE 'Yamaha-TG100-Whistle-C5.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little
Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
underrun!!! (at least 1054.052 ms long)
underrun!!! (at least 1073.542 ms long)
- I have correctly set the default fragment number and buffer size in
PulseAudio.
- I have removed the alsa-plugins-pulseaudio to discard the pulseaudio
responsability, and I still had the same sound crash. So I guess it's
alsa who is responsible (?)
- I have also tried using alternative desktops (I'm using gnome3) like
xfce or cinnamon but it didn't work. It happened the same.
I have my fedora 21, with kernel 4.1.13-100.fc21.x86_64, my video card
is NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT (using free drivers) and following I give you
details of my sound system.

I would like to try to set a particular model for my sound driver in
/etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf. But, I don't find anything for the ID of my
sound device obtain from alsa-info.sh (Subsystem: 1462:7586)
Using a generic options snd_hda_intel model doesn't seem to work.
Thanks for any help you can provide me.
Cheers,
