Public bug reported: Binary package hint: pulseaudio
My computer have an onboard nvidia soundstorm sound card, and to be able to use the hardware mixing and real time dolby digital encoding, I need to run nvidias old nvsound driver, which is OSS only (i.e does not work with alsa). To get pulseaudio working on gutsy, I needed to uncomment this line in /etc/pulse/default.pa (automatic detection does not work): [code]load-module module-oss device="/dev/dsp" sink_name=output source_name=input[/code] This worked really well in gutsy, but when I do the same in hardy, the computer completely freezes (Not even Alt+SysRq+R,E,I,S,U,B helps). Relevant information: Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-7NNXP (nforce 2, with soundstorm integrated in the mcp-t southbridge). Sound driver: nvidia nvsound, installed according to my howto at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=253725. OS: Hardy Heron (installed from alpha 3 cd, but up to date with daily updates) Installed pulseaudio package: 0.9.9-1ubuntu1 I'm not the only one with this problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4195416&postcount=179 (But this problem may be hardware/driver specific) ** Affects: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Pulsaudio freezes computer if module-oss is loaded https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186133 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
