I spoke too soon. It crashed out twice in a row on me, the second crash within five minutes of the first. I have attached two new log files showing this. I wonder, could the runaway speech-dispatcher process cause the sound input to crash sooner the second time? Usually when it crashes, I unplu

Yes, it looks like tsched=0 might have lengthened the time between crashes. I bet speech-dispatcher is being used by Mumble, which has text-to-speech messaging capabilities. It is possible that killing pulseaudio, as I do after an input crash, is causing speech-dispatcher to go nuts. -- pulseau

So tsched=0 improved the situation, but did not really eliminate it? Speech-dispatcher is something text-to-speech related, sometimes used by visually impaired users to play back text. Are you running it on purpose and do you know what is triggering it? Perhaps Luke can fill in a bit on this issue

Well it took a while, but I finally managed to get a verbose log of the voice input crashing while "tsched=0" has been set. I have also noticed that after the crash a there is a runaway "speech- dispatcher" process hanging around. speech-dispatcher runs up to 100% CPU utilization, and stays there

Hmm. This seems like a difficult one to trace down. I see nothing obvious in the PulseAudio logs, and I'm still unsure exactly where in the logs that the problem actually happens. My guess is that it is hardware or driver related. Perhaps tsched=0 could help as a workaround? To try that, replace t

Here is another verbose log file, but this time I unplugged the headset *before* terminating the log program. Perhaps the file will still be of use. ** Attachment added: "Pulseaudio detailed log #2" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/44337832/pulseverbose.log.1 -- pulseaudio input crashes after a

Here is a verbose pulseaudio log file using the instructions you posted. The first file is fine: I stopped logging, then unplugged the headset. ** Attachment added: "Pulseaudio detailed log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/44337671/pulseverbose.log.0 -- pulseaudio input crashes after an hour o

Right, so the strange pulseaudio errors come from unplugging the headset rather than the input silence. Hmm, perhaps a pulseaudio log would help? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log Please stop the logging after the input has stopped working, but before you physically disconnect the headset.

Sound output through the both the USB headphones and onboard speakers still works fine, even after the input via the USB headset microphone has crashed. Just to be clear, the "USB disconnected/connected" messages in the log I posted are me physically unplugging and replugging the headset in order

It looks like your computer thinks that the headset has become disconnected. Can we rule out hardware errors, by e g testing the headset in another computer? Also, you say that sound output continues to work - is that sound output through the headset or through the on-board sound card? ** Changed
