Description of problem: when the system is _very busy_ , like k3b closing disc, music stops playing and, on resume, the first second volume is at max (or, much higher, anyway). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 How reproducible: write a disc with k3b while listening music Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: music stops, and on resume the start volume is much higher Expected results: music doesn't stop, or if it stops, on resume volume remains constant Additional info: my sound card is: 00:06.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio (rev a2) (from lspci) lsmod | grep snd: snd_hda_intel 24409 2 snd_hda_codec 202689 1 snd_hda_intel snd_seq_dummy 7877 0 snd_seq_oss 33345 0 snd_seq_midi_event 11073 1 snd_seq_oss snd_seq 50353 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq_device 11853 3 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq snd_pcm_oss 43489 0 snd_mixer_oss 19393 2 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 74565 3 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 24773 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd 53189 11 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 11553 2 snd snd_page_alloc 13769 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm smolt: HDA Intel OTHER pci nVidia Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio Giga-byte Technology ram: 2GiO processor: amd x2 dualcore 5600+ 2800 MHz this was my home computer. the same thing happens on my office computer wich is hp, with 512 MiO ram, 3 GHz intel dual core processor. i'm not at office right now so i can not provide more info on that machine. anyway, things seemed to improve from fc6 to f7 (the annoying increase of playback level is shorter maybe, or does not happen that often anymore(?))
Hello Cornel, I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug and will try and assist you in resolving it if I can. There hasn't been much activity on this bug for a while. Could you tell me if you are still having problems with the latest kernel? If the problem no longer exists then please close this bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no additional information lodged. Cheers Chris
it happens with latest kernel too. i have at office two hp's with intel-hda, i'll test there too, tomorrow. thank you.
Okay, thanks for the info. I've added an ALSA blocker bug which may get this further review from the relevant maintainers. Cheers Chris
it happened today (22nd of september 2007) too, when the system tried to see if the cd i've put into cddrive is blank or something else. it also happens when k3b is "closing session". $ uname -r 2.6.22.5-76.fc7 $ rpm -qa | grep alsa alsa-utils-1.0.14-1.fc7 alsa-lib-1.0.14-3.fc7
it is fixed on f8release, sound never stops now. the system (xorg) is still kinda freezing though. thank you very much.
