USER PID COMMAND Thanks Sumesh |
hmm.. try to check your syslog and see if any errors where logged regarding audio. Also does this just happen for a certain audio player? try restarting the pulseaudio.

I checked the following files...none of them made any sense...Are these the files, u suggested me to check?
Code:
[sumesh@saha ~]$ vi /usr/lib64/rsyslog/ I tried restarting the pulseaudio...this is what happened.. Code:
[sumesh@saha ~]$ pulseaudio restart So, I changed to root..and, Code:
[sumesh@saha ~]$ su sorry for being dumb in replyin..but i am just tryin to learn linux. And many thanx for helpin me. What shall I do now? Thanks Sumesh |

I have my Sound Preference Devices set to ALSA and normally all is OK. Default Mixer Tracks gives a choice of devices: HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer), USB Device Ox46d (which is my webcam), and Realtek ALC 861 (OSS mixer), which I believe is my on-board sound chip. When HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer) is selected, all works OK. My Volume Control gives the same choices, where the USB Device Ox46d is selected. Sometimes on start up, Default Mixer Tracks sees only the USB Device Ox46d, and the Volume Contol only sees HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer), and I get no sound at all. Restarting sometimes cures the problem, and sometimes I have to shutdown and then restsart, but there seems to be no pattern to the occurences. I am running Fedora 9, with Linux Kernel 2.6.27.5.41 Any suggestions will be appreciated. norm |
Just adding, if it can be of helpful
My you tube also stopped working !!! Can it be related to audio problem Sumesh |
I would venture out and say yes. So it sounds like a module issue where it is coming unloaded or something else is going on.
|
How do i go about it? What would you suggest?
Sumesh |
try removing the pulse audio daemon. then reboot and see if it goes out again.

try just running
Code:

Ok so after a quick check pulseaudio is a sound server that operates on posix and win32 systems. Some of the functions is to pass sound data between the application and the hardware. It is also used as a sound server giving the ability to pass sound to remote workstations.
http://www.pulseaudio.org/ Here is the link. But I really think that is the problem. We need to look out how we can get your sound to by pass this. I am somewhat sure that running alsaconf might do that |
i am unable to run alsaconf....i think it is not installed on my machine...this is what happens when i try running it...
Code:
[root@saha sumesh]# alsaconf |
i tried to get alsaconf thru yum...but no way...
|
try installing alsa-utils. alsaconf I think is in /usr/sbin/
