Sound system fatal error. CPU overload

deepumnit · 01-12-2008, 02:07 AM

Hello, I have got this error message window a few times now on my Fedora 8. I do not know the cause for this. It just pops up from a place that only God knows

But when I check my CPU status, both processors are functional. Is this a serious issue?

aus9 · 01-12-2008, 07:23 AM

were you trying to run certain software at the time
eg playing a sound file?

2) Also check if your soundcard or onboard is actually detected at bootup....look at /var/log/dmesg

if soundcard is detected, look to see if sound server is working,
that varies depending on software installed, if you have KDE run kde control center and look at sound tab....it has options to test sound and hardware tab has options on snd card configs.

another way is to run in a terminal with root powers
alsaconf

3) if sndcard is detected, server is ok, try disabling in kde c ctr the arts server so it disables after a few seconds

if that is good

run a mixer to check volumes are good
eg kmix or alsamixer

Please tell me what you mean by this:

I was running many softwares. But, this is the first time something like this is happening.

Look at the /var/log/dmesg output:

I do not think that my sound-card is detected. I am not sure. Now what to do?

deepumnit · 01-12-2008, 08:01 AM

When I checked in sound preferences for testing the ALSA and mixer, in the Audio-conferencing section, I got this: "Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat'"

What does that mean?

aus9 · 01-12-2008, 06:00 PM

I can not spot your soundcard either at this stage so the last question we will ignore. Until we get the hardware detected the software will not work.

pls advice the full details of your card like make model pc slot or it its onboard what is its chipset based on please.

2) BTW, do you have 2 ethernet cards?

aus9 · 01-12-2008, 06:33 PM

ok, since we may be diff timezones, I add the following.

You have booted up with a usb memory inserted.....that usb device sometimes captures sound stuff...when it should not....but do a full shutdown....not a reboot

then make sure if you onboard sound...its enabled in bios....eg ac97 audio is under Integrated peripherals.

but if you have a soundcard then disable the onboard so it does not interfere with linux detecting the correct sound pls.

2) you may have a bios that says something like...plug n play bios? change to no
or it may say....windows say no....assuming you are not dual booting.

3) and you have a datatraveller usb memory inserted at bootup....this has usb properties that can interfere with soundcard detection (according to my research) so pls remove it

while you are at troubleshooting stage....remove all usb devices you do not need such as printers cameras etc...as we want soundcard to not have any interference pls

aus9 · 01-12-2008, 07:00 PM

you may have an interrupt (IRQ) issue...which is what I meant by interference

can you open a shell and run commands
su
lspci > pci.txt
lsmod > lsmod.txt

and post the output of those 2 textfiles which will appear in /home/yourname pls

also in KDE have a look at kde info center which shows if your soundcard has a IRQ conflict with another device eg your ethernet device

in kde control center you can also test sound

aus9 · 01-12-2008, 09:09 PM

if you do not have KDE

while in shell run this as well

cat /proc/interrupts > irq.txt

and post the output so we can see if you have any conflicts

deepumnit · 01-12-2008, 09:23 PM

I am really thankful to you. I shall get back asap.
