This results in an inappropriately timed ping. - This behavior is only after the recent updates and is a regression + 2> Another issue is while playing audio in Firefox , once the video/audio is playback is over in firefox , the browser is not closed. + So pulse audio gets locked with Firefox and sound does not play in other audio/video apps. + + This behavior is only after the recent updates and is a regression. + + Workaround: + $ pulseaudio -k + this command needs to be run several times, until pulse audio releases the PID. + + Do note , this might sometimes prevent you from playing audio/video in firefox again, + -Keep running the command to get sound in firefox or + -close and re-open firefox or + -identify the video/audio in /tmp and play the file in an audio/video app. + ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: vish 24573 F.... pulseaudio Card0.Amixer.info: Card hw:0 'Intel'/'HDA Intel at 0xc8000000 irq 22' Mixer name : 'Realtek ALC883' Components : 'HDA:10ec0883,1025160d,00100002 HDA:14f12bfa,10250094,00090000' Controls : 24 Simple ctrls : 14 Date: Tue Aug 11 19:23:12 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 Package: pulseaudio 1:0.9.16~test4-0ubuntu4 ProcEnviron: LANG=en_IN SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-5.24-generic SourcePackage: pulseaudio Uname: Linux 2.6.31-5-generic i686 -- Pulse audio queues audio and gets locked to the app PID https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/411962 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
