The problem:
trying to
or a .wav, .mp3, whatever locks my console. I don't hear a thing. I unmuted alsamixer, set it to max etc. But I can't hear a
thing.
Trying to CTRL+C gives me this, after a painful 30 seconds:
Code:

And this scrolls over and over again on my {newbie} screen.
Trying to
Code:
/etc/init.d/alsa stop, restart or force-stop, or force-restart
says it can't stop it, as the process aplay is using it. Killing aplay doesn't help either.
I must reboot. When I try
Code:
reboot, shutdown -h now, or poweroff
It gives me some kind of
Code:

, which doesn't get recorded anywhere so I can't post it here completely. (This is all I could jot down while my PC was
'Going down for reboot' :-)
Any ideas?
Thanks.
