Okay, in fact, after rebooting, this problem still occurs, I must power OFF completely, then power ON to get rid of this problem. This problem seemes to arise with flash player (npviewer.bin) running at the moment PA crashes. But it's only a supposition, as it may just be a coincidence. maybe useful: ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i adobe adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i flash flash-plugin-10.0.22.87-release.i386 ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i firefox firefox-3.5.1-1.fc11.i586 OK, I've tested a bit more: there is no link with flash player because this morning PA did malfunction everytime I played a sound I rebooted and powered OFF/ON several times but everytime it malfunctioned This is with kernel Linux laptop.local 2.6.29.6-213.fc11.i686.PAE #1 SMP Tue Jul 7 20:59:29 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I rebooted once more, choosing the preceding kernel Linux laptop.local 2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i686.PAE #1 SMP Tue Jun 16 23:19:53 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux And everything is fine now. So it must be something in the new kernel. Hi, I can reproduce the error as well as solve the issue by boot F11 with kernel-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586 ! #pulse versions rpmquery -a | grep pulse xine-lib-pulseaudio-1.1.16.3-2.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-module-x11-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 kde-settings-pulseaudio-4.2-10.20090430svn.fc11.noarch alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.20-2.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-utils-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-libs-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 #alsa versions rpmquery -a | grep alsa alsa-utils-1.0.20-3.fc11.i586 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.20-2.fc11.i586 alsa-lib-1.0.20-1.fc11.i586 #kernel versions rpmquery -a | grep kernel kernel-2.6.29.6-213.fc11.i586 kernel-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i586 kernel-firmware-2.6.29.6-213.fc11.noarch kernel-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586 kerneloops-0.12-5.fc11.i586 Kernel causing the problem: kernel-2.6.29.6-213.fc11.i586 All good when running: Linux lietkynes 2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586 #1 SMP Tue Jun 16 23:11:39 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Jul 23 18:36:31 laptop pulseaudio[8810]: alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_avail() returned a value that is exceptionally large: 4294963268 bytes (24347864 ms). Yur sound driver is broken. This triggers CPU overload in PA so that it will terminate itself after a while. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 509054 *** |
Created attachment 354894 [details] /var/log/messages Description of problem: This issue happens sometimes, most of the time all is OK. So sometimes, When I listen to some sound file, the sound stops and the application (i.e. AUdacious or Exaile) continues to play as if nothing was wrong. But the Gnome volume applet is not working anymore, pulseaudio is taking all available CPU. I can run some other audio app and play some sound file, then the same happens to the new app. Sometimes the app is not able to recover from that "sound stall" sometimes, the sound gets back, then off again. It generates many logs in /var/log/messages. The keyboard shortcuts volume up/down doesn't work anymore (the little bargraph window doesn't show up either) but the keys are working fine and sending the correct keyboard events. A reboot of the machine fixes it all... until the next time which is generally several days later. (my computer is on every day I reboot or turn off my computer every night). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i pulse pulseaudio-libs-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-module-gconf-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.20-2.fc11.i586 xine-lib-pulseaudio-1.1.16.3-2.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-libs-zeroconf-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-utils-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-libs-glib2-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-module-x11-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 wine-pulseaudio-1.1.23-1.fc11.i586 ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i alsa alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.20-2.fc11.i586 alsa-lib-1.0.20-1.fc11.i586 alsa-utils-1.0.20-3.fc11.i586 ~]$ uname -a Linux laptop.local 2.6.29.6-213.fc11.i686.PAE #1 SMP Tue Jul 7 20:59:29 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux How reproducible: Well, it's kind of random... I can't find any reproductibility method. It just happends sometimes. Steps to Reproduce: 1. play some sound files with Audacious, or Exaile 2. wait for sound to stop (it can take take days to appear) 3. look at volume applet, /var/log/messages, top Actual results: I'm getting this kind of messages: Jul 23 18:34:42 laptop pulseaudio[8694]: asyncq.c: q overrun, queuing locally Jul 23 18:34:47 laptop pulseaudio[8694]: ratelimit.c: 8298 events suppressed Jul 23 18:36:21 laptop pulseaudio[8810]: pid.c: Stale PID file, overwriting.

Jul 23 18:36:31 laptop pulseaudio[8810]: alsa-util.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_intel8x0'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers. Jul 23 18:36:31 laptop pulseaudio[8810]: alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_dump(): Expected results: Sound must not stop. pulseaudio must not take 100%CPU and issue so much logs, applications must not crash because pulseaudio gets kind of unresponsive. Additional info: I'm not sure that this bug is already reported, I saw some bugs reports displaying nearly the same issue or errors, but they don't seem to be the same.
