Description Maurice Edward, Brahier 2009-07-15 22:18:58 UTC
Description of problem:
 Clean install of F11. Sound from au8820 lagging, scratchy, volume refuses to hold at set volume, breaks in game sounds.
 Thought the card might be going bad [had worked almost flawlessly in F10], pull card and replace with SB16 [also worked in F10]. Never get card recognized even though completely un-installing pulse and re-installing several times, attempt manual configurations per fedoraforums and other help sites. Find out pulseaudio is causing numerous issues over a broad spectrum of cards and systems and prior card may not have been faulty.
 Replace potential bad capacitor in au8820 anyway, return to system, remove pulseaudio and ensure all manual activity is cleaned out PRIOR to re-installing the original au8820 card [into the same slot [BIOS/CMOS checked and ESCD updated].
 Three un-install/re-installs of PulseAudio later [pulseaudio always produces null_ouput for device] ALSA finds the card as shown in Advanced Sound Control and Pulse has its entries and sound works - music plays, but when checking PulseAudio configuration all outputs and streams immediately revert to auto_null_output and ALSA now shows just auto_null for Pulse.
 All related files previously viewed or manipulated are checked and appear to be the same over the various re-installs.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.9.15 - libs test3

How reproducible:
always - no sound - though a slight click when first login as if it might be going to work

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start Fedora
2.
3.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:  pulseaudio appears to have severe issues, and it is blocking even PNP/HAL at the OS level. A fix or a way to completely get rid of this apparently buggy/beta aspect.

Comment 1 Maurice Edward, Brahier 2009-07-15 22:21:52 UTC
 I should have mentioned this is a dual boot machine and both cards work flawlessly in Windows.

Comment 2 Lennart Poettering 2009-07-22 23:41:23 UTC
Please provide the output of "pulseaudio -vvvvv". (you might need to stop a running pa with pulseaudio -k first)

Comment 3 Maurice Edward, Brahier 2009-07-23 00:34:04 UTC
 I have un-installed and re-installed two more times, and added myself to the apparent sound activities.
 Prior to running this, I can now get sound but ONLY if I never use any of Pulseaudio's Management, device, or sound controls. IF I attempt to use those it still reverts to null_output. Sound volume still fluctuates. Have tried no other test [such as on-line] since I prefer ANY basic sounds to none.

This output suggests that PA was able to identify your sound card correctly. So what's wrong?

Comment 5 Maurice Edward, Brahier 2009-07-23 15:43:32 UTC
512005 - pulseaudio - 07-23-09

 Well that's the question that you're supposed to answer, and I'm not trying to be facetious here.

 As I indicated, I can use ONE app only for sound control - the Advanced Volume Control, which does not hold volume settings from one session to another..
 ANY use of PulseAudio's controls or even just checking the system while using PulseAudio specific controls causes null_output, and until I added myself to the sound groups and managing to figure out the below, killing all sound and any further sound until restart [this last install after the most recent updates and my adding myself - prior to such, null_output remained as the default with no sound even after restart].
 Under Multimedia Systems Selector, I must *manually set* "Alsa - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture" as default plugin and *manually set* device as "abd" as output PRIOR to re-installing PulseAudio or there is no adapter found and no sound.
 AFTER installing PulseAudio and restarting at least twice, the device "abd" can then be changed to default, however, PulseAudio controls still can not be used. For instance: attempting to use PulseAudio's Volume control immediately reverts to null_ouput. Multimedia Systems Selector can NOT be set to autodetect, which was the previous default prior to the sound card issue previously indicated [which was actually PulseAudio issues NOT the card].
 Moreover, as noted, one of the "standards" of sound cards, a SB16, could never be configured in an attempt to install a replacement card; and ignoring that, still leaves the failures of: lag; crackling sound; volume control; and, breaks in game sound, when using PulseAudio ORIGINALLY..

 Does this clarify the apparent issues for you?

Please provide the requested "pulseaudio -vvvv" output that is printed when the issue happens. The output you posted above shows nothing wrong, and is pretty useless for finding what is going on.

Everytime I copy and paste the above, D: and two I: repeat [as if there was a sound], with *no* sound output.... try not to overlook the fact that once pulseaudio is accessed [as in via this commend] there is no sound.
 After approx 30 seconds [as I add these inclusions to the copy/paste]  sound comes back... and the D: and two I: appear again. Rmemeber this is MANUALLY set as the Alsa plugin per previous post.

 ** Now let's try to find out what happens when I run a pulseaudio control after running the above command.. OOOPPPPSSS can't do that, we have a crash... see attached pavucontrol-bugreport.txt

Comment 9 Lennart Poettering 2009-07-25 11:34:38 UTC
The output above shows no sign of null_output being loaded.

Please include the output that is generated by pulseaudio -vvvv when null_output replaces the original device.

Comment 10 Maurice Edward, Brahier 2009-07-25 16:57:15 UTC
 Did you bother to look at the CRASH report now attached to this...

 Here's a correction to the prior..

 I posted the updates [271megs] had installed, I was wrong they did not all install, apparently only a couple installed. I spent five or six hours last night/early morning ATTEMPTING to get the updates installed. Here's what happens [there are still 90 updates left, only a couple get installed at a time before the below error]:

 The Software Update Service is now stalled [for about 6 hours while I got some sleep] attempting to update the kernel to 2.6.29.6-213.fc11. I writing this BEFORE I kill the stuck update so you, at least, receive this. IF this update kills Fedora or causes additional errors, I will trash Fedora and go with another Linux.
 I'm willing to work through bugs [and been doing so for the last 19+ years or so with other OSs and prior versions of REDHAT Linux] but I think I've come to the end of my willingness to do so. This version may be the end of my use of Fedora/RedHat...

Comment 11 Lennart Poettering 2009-07-25 21:04:03 UTC
Let's please stay focussed. The original bug report is about PA reverting to null output, not about pavucontrol or even yum. Please let's keep seperate issues seperate.

So please, can you get me that output of pulseaudio -vvvv when the problem happens?

(Also, the driver and PA developers work for RH and on Fedora. Do you honestly believe that some other distro is able to provide you with fixes to the software that we would not have?)

Comment 12 Maurice Edward, Brahier 2009-07-26 03:12:36 UTC
 I'm going to submit this to you, I suggest you actually read it.. and spend some time trying to understand *WHY* I collected it for you...

See the new upload - collected errors.txt... and BTW you can't dismiss activity which is CAUSED from testing, or from or relevant to the issue of pulseaudio... the pavucontrol crash is BOTH... they are NOT separate issues...

Comment 13 Maurice Edward, Brahier 2009-07-26 03:17:11 UTC
Created attachment 355173 [details]
requested null output and other relevant information

 There are other issues now present which may have a related effect.

Comment 14 Lennart Poettering 2009-07-26 12:31:51 UTC
The output you attached shows no information about null_output being loaded. All it shows is that while it was active in a previous instance of PA it isn't now.

As requested, please get me the output of pulseaudio -vvvvv when the actual replacing of the ALSA sound card by the null device happens.

Please file yum issues as bug reports to yum. I am not a yum developer and cannot help you fixing those. Please keep separate issues separate. Yum and PA are completely independent packages. A failure in one of the two is with almost complete certainty completely independent from a failure in the other.

(I'd appreciate it if you weren't as demanding as you are. Not paying anything you get support from the developer himself, so a little politeness and respect that I might know what I am doing might be in order. Thank you.)

 Wrong. There was no sound, hence STILL affecting sound output.

 IF you want someone such as myself to work with you, you should apprise of *exactly* how you wish to achieve your intended results.
 I gave you what you requested and using what you defined as how to achieve that output.

 What you REALLY want is and have now defined is: You want me to FIRST run pulseaudio -vvvvv [you have defined two distinct options now, one at four v, the other at five v, which one do you want me to use?] THEN monitor the output WHILE using/opening whatever needed to produce the ORIGINAL null activity [and pavucontrol does it instantly and consistently, so that's what I will use and WHY it relates DIRECTLY to the issue and diagnostics].

 No they are not. *You* should notify the other developers which you have contact WITHIN Red Hat and Fedora that other activity MAY be affecting your development.
 Attempting to solve your issues WITHOUT also addressing other factors which can and generally do effect your individual programming solves nothing. YOU must work within the complete OS particularly as you run at the base system level, anything that might otherwise cause issues to *your program* development MUST be addressed IN TOTAL. Pulseaudio is now longer an OPTIONAL installation, it is the default installation and in charge of the entire OS's sound functioning. Its failure is OS failure.

 You are not solving *my individual issue*, you are diagnosing issues that may be contained within your coding IN CONJUNCTION WITH how it might be affected by other elements within the complete OS.

 You have apparently ignored my prior advisement of my experience with these types of issues and diagnostics.
 Let me try again. I have done this with hundreds of developers, manufacturers, and programmers, from Microsoft [since it was first available via MODEM and BBS], to Bit Defender, to AutoCad, to [pick something, likely I have supplied diagnostics at some point (within reason of course, there are millions of things I have not had a hand in), though not generally in my true name] and when I direct to other potentials, they MAY be directly or indirectly related to the issue at hand, and this comes from prior experience.
 Discussing matters with developers and programmers doesn't impress me if they fail to appreciate the help I am offering to them. *IF* we can come to an understanding and appreciate what the other offers then we can continue.. I am NOT getting paid either.. and this is apparently YOUR application/program and it does have issues WHICH NEED CORRECTED and attended to, so your actions will define whether I bother to offer my time to address YOUR issues. I do presently supply both support AND diagnostics elsewhere (visible, business, and private) so it isn't as if I have spare time to waste.

 So much for the "chat", please define the EXACT command line you want me to use and SPECIFICALLY how you want me to use it; OR specifically state you do not wish my help and I will move on to another Linux compilation [since I am testing a few others at the moment].

Comment 16 Lennart Poettering 2009-07-27 14:19:39 UTC
Dude. You get something for free. And even helped with it. And you make requests what I should be doing and that I should fulfill all your wishes? I mean really, do you think do you think I am getting payed to fix your computer? No, I am certainly not. No for fucks sake, stop posting off-topic comments here. Just get me what I asked for, the output of "pulseaudio -vvvvv" when the actual replacing of the device sink with the null output happens. 

It's up to you if you pass 4, 6, or 756 v's to that command line. All i want is the debug output of PA when the problem happens. Without that debug output I cannot help you.

And please stop being a dick.

Comment 17 Maurice Edward, Brahier 2009-07-27 16:11:12 UTC
 Excuse me...!!

 Here's what I'm going to do for you since you are obviously a "wannabe programmer", I'm sending the collected error discussion to the head of Red Hat with direction to my attempts to help you diagnose YOUR issues and your continued ignorant responses, and suggestion you be permanently removed from any access to the issues or the public. And here's why:

 Though you were specifically directed to the other issues affecting your pulseaudio, you CAN NOT understand the inter-relationship to the OS you purport to work on.
 You are so incompetent, you are still under the impression that running your little command will give you a clue to what is happening WHEN I HAVE ALREADY DIRECTED YOU TO THE ISSUES, THE REASON, AND THE FIX.

 This system now has mis-matched kernel, libraries, python, and other key files and aspects DUE TO issues created BY other programmers at Fedora and WHICH HAVE DIRECTLY AFFECTED YOUR PROGRAM to the extent this has now occurred:

 You, though, will not understand the relationship to your program as you will likely, once again, follow your previous clueless path evidenced in the prior entries within this bug report.

 And since you are apparently and openly incompetent, AND subjecting the public to your ignorance as well, I will suggest to the Red Hat organization, that it might be conducive to furtherance of both Red Hat and Fedora, that you also be removed entirely from Red Hat and Fedora projects or relegated to some behind the scenes activity under STRICT guidance.
 Get it yet "Dude".

Comment 18 Lubomir Rintel 2009-07-27 16:25:16 UTC
Closing, since the reporter obviously seems to be unable to stay focused on the issue and failed to provide any helpful information. Maurice, feel free to switch to a distro run by volunteers who like to solve your issues when you personally offend them.

Comment 19 Rex Dieter 2009-07-27 16:44:01 UTC
fwiw, I see this from time to time, when resuming my laptop from suspend.  When/if it happens again, I'll chime in, but I think I'll prefer to open a new bug (or find a different one to piggy-back on).

Comment 20 Maurice Edward, Brahier 2009-07-27 17:05:22 UTC
 Did you check to ensure you had been properly updated? See the posts which and attachments for what to look for.

 BTW: this is not a laptop...

Comment 21 Maurice Edward, Brahier 2009-07-27 17:08:39 UTC
 And as a response to the closing of this issue... the matter will be posted within my website, and to which I will direct elsewhere.
 It appears that Red Hat is traded on the markets, I'm sure this will be well received as another indication of Red Hat abilities and competence generally.

Rex, I've been observing the very same symptoms (alsa-sink module being unloaded after getting EBADFD from snd_pcm_rewind() after resume from suspend and falling back to null sink in turn). Filed upstream (kernel & pulse) with patches:

http://www.pulseaudio.org/ticket/616

Maurice: Took me two hours to find out where the race is and write a fix. Another hour of testing to ensure if works. Of my weekend time. Sending you the bill, enjoy posting it on your beautiful web site.
