Public bug reported: Sound suddenly disappears, but later it appears again and so on, quite randomly (for the whole system, vlc, flash, games). When the sound reappears I can hear the last sounds before disappearing. The problem was also in 9.04.
In Windows sound works fine --- it doesn't disappears even after hours of playing, in ubuntu it usually stops after several minutes. In 9.10 I also tried OSS4 --- the same result. When the sound stops such programs as firefox playing flash, vlc also stop, I had to kill them. I don't think its a hardware problem since under WinXP everything is fine with both headphones and speakers. The sound card is Realtek ALC655. And I haven't tried other linux distributions.
