A few qustions
1. Which kernel are you using.
2. Can you reproduce the problem playing a long sound file?
I recall reading a bug report sometime ago that start/stop audio
repeatedly can cause audio to stop working which is what you are doing.
Regards,
Steve
Hi Steve,
Thanks for your response.
1. Kernel version is 2.6.10 montavista-linux
2. We are not able to reproduce the problem with long file, only with short
file when playing one after the other. i.e. when I try to run a sample file as
mentioned in my previous mail in a loop I find that the sound goes off after
few minutes.
When I do a soft reboot with "reboot" command and try to play any .wav file I
don't get any sound. I need to do hard reboot to fix this issue.
Thanks in advance.
