Spotify (0.8.8.323.gd143501e) here on latest 13.04 is also freezing every 2-3 songs. After killing spotify and pulseaudio spotify can be succesfully restarted.
Installing libruby as suggested by some others made no difference for me. Killing pulseaudio alone is not enough to resume playing, spotify also shows in the commandline it is using pulseaudio (and not alsa). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1085140 Title: spotify, rhythmbox, flash freezes randomly Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi, if I use spotify or rhythmbox it freezes randomly, sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes immediately, also flash crashes from time to time I suspect it is related to pulseaudio or some layer in audio system ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: pulseaudio 1:2.1-0ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.7.0-4.12-generic 3.7.0-rc7 Uname: Linux 3.7.0-4-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.6.2-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: pk 1983 F.... pulseaudio Date: Fri Nov 30 18:13:08 2012 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-11-14 (15 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120823.1) MarkForUpload: True ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=sk_SK.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: pulseaudio UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to raring on 2012-11-27 (3 days ago) dmi.bios.date: 05/15/2009 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: 6FET71WW (3.01 ) dmi.board.name: 208253G dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: Not Available dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvr6FET71WW(3.01):bd05/15/2009:svnLENOVO:pn208253G:pvrThinkPadT500:rvnLENOVO:rn208253G:rvrNotAvailable:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 208253G dmi.product.version: ThinkPad T500 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1085140/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
