Same problem on Karmic AMD64 & ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) and 5.1 surround sound. After some time I got the problem, described in this bug. For example, boot, open VLC player, play movie. And sometimes after 20-180 minutes the sound goes off and I see only short clicks from the speakers and "ratelimit.c: xx events suppressed" messages. When I pause video, clicks goes away, when play again - clicks returns!
try to upgrade pulseaudio from ubuntu-audiodev ppa, but the problem stay here. Also try newer alsa (to 1.0.22.1+dfsg-0ubuntu2~ricotz1 from ppa) and pulseaudio (1:0.9.22~0.9.21+stable-queue-32-g8478-0ubuntu1~ricotz1) from another PPA, but it isn't solve the problem for me too. Daniel T Chen, can I safely upgrade to lucid (full system or some packages), test this and rollback to karmic? -- sound stops working with pulseaudio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444950 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
