I had the exact same problem. I was able to fix it eventually after some googling. Here is the fix: In terminal type (lspci -nn | grep -i audio) you will get an output similar to mine which I believe because of two conflicting devices ( 00:01.1 Audio device [0403]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Device [1002:9840] 00:14.2 Audio device [0403]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] FCH Azalia Controller [1022:780d] (rev 02)
this will give you the pid and vid for each device, the two numbers at the end of each line. Now create a file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf with the following, in my case: options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=auto vid=1022 pid=780d options snd-hda-intel index=1 model=auto vid=1002 pid=9840 also pay attention to what module you are using and replace snd-hda- intel if you are using different module accordingly. Hope it works for you. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1361384 Title: Alsa and Pulse audio hang system when listening to music To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-utils/+bug/1361384/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
