Description of problem: When playing video clip on the console using aaxine, the sound subsystem becomes unusable after switching back and forth between tty1 and X a few times during playback. After the audio is lost, it is not usable in X or on the console. The mixers (alsamixer and gnome volume control) do work, but they have no effect. Also, it does not seem to matter whether the user sound system is set to alsa or pulseaudio in "Sound Preferences". I tried restarting the ConsoleKit service and bringing the system down to runlevel 3 and and the back up to runlevel 5. Neither of these restored the audio. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xine-lib-1.1.0 (compiled from source) ConsoleKit-libs-0.2.3-1.fc8 ConsoleKit-0.2.3-1.fc8 ConsoleKit-x11-0.2.3-1.fc8 alsa-lib-1.0.15-1.fc8 alsa-utils-1.0.15-1.fc8 pulseaudio-core-libs-0.9.8-5.fc8 pulseaudio-module-gconf-0.9.8-5.fc8 pulseaudio-libs-0.9.8-5.fc8 pulseaudio-module-x11-0.9.8-5.fc8 pulseaudio-utils-0.9.8-5.fc8 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.15-2.fc8 pulseaudio-0.9.8-5.fc8 pulseaudio-libs-glib2-0.9.8-5.fc8 pulseaudio-esound-compat-0.9.8-5.fc8 pulseaudio-libs-devel-0.9.8-5.fc8 pulseaudio-libs-zeroconf-0.9.8-5.fc8 kernel-2.6.23.14-115.fc8 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. install xine-lib 2. play a video clip (with audio) using aaxine on the console. 3. switch back and forth between tty1 and X several times Actual results: sound becomes unusable between the console and X. Expected results: Additional info: System is a HP Compaq dx5150.
This does not happen when switching between standard ttys (tty1 and tty2). Sound is muted when switching to tty2 and restored when switching back to tty1.
Upgraded the following packages from yum repo "development" but the problem did not go away. ConsoleKit-libs-0.2.7-1.fc9 ConsoleKit-0.2.7-1.fc9 ConsoleKit-x11-0.2.7-1.fc9
This issue appears fixed in F9.
