I booted to previous kernel.
From kernel-2.6.29.6-213 to kernel 2.6.29.5-191 and the problem has thus far not resurfaced. My kernel update according to the yum log happened on the 23rd of July, one day ahead of my 24th July updates and subsequent audio difficulties.

Comment 7 Lubomir Rintel 2009-07-28 20:08:27 UTC
Soo, I compiled snd-intel8x0 from alsa-kernel.git and inserted it in my 2.6.30-1.fc12 kernel, problem seems to be gone. Looking at the changelog I noticed commit f708eb1 which looks like it fixes this issue. In meanwhile, it seems to have been merged for 2.6.31:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=f708eb1d71dc8ffb184da9f0bc53461c6dc10653

If it proves to solve the issue, could that be applied to F-11 kernel?

We are working on a 2.6.30 kernel for F-11 which will have those fixes. The new 2.6.29.6 update is for security problems.

Comment 22 Andrey Petrov 2009-08-06 06:36:40 UTC
> We are working on a 2.6.30 kernel for F-11 which will have those fixes.
Is there a repository where I could get this kernel from? It's not in updates or updates-testing...

Comment 23 Benjamin Thery 2009-08-13 14:03:10 UTC
Any chance to have this bug fixed soon in F11?

This one is really annoying, I can't listen to music (or watch video or Flash) more than a couple of minutes, before pulseaudio reports the snd_pcm_avail()/ snd_pcm_delay() error and starts eating 99% CPU.

Do you have an estimated date for the kernel containing the fix?
Or should I switch to an earlier kernel? (in this case, which one?)

Comment 24 Pádraig Brady 2009-08-13 14:07:52 UTC
Bah who needs sound (or suspend). Back to work!

Comment 25 Bob Hill 2009-08-13 14:16:06 UTC
FYI, on my system, kernel-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586 does NOT have this problem,
and music and video and flash can be played fine for any length of time.

Comment 26 Colin.Simpson 2009-08-13 14:23:57 UTC
I've had to revert to a test kernel 2.6.29.6-209.rc1.fc11, as (from memory) the last two updated kernels: 

kernel-2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11
kernel-2.6.29.6-213.fc11

, have this bug and the first updated kernel 

kernel-2.6.29.5-191.fc11

, has an annoying NFS server bug #508174 which basically is broken as an NFS server to any other version of RH, Fedora.

So if you use NFS server the rc kernel I'm using has the NFS bug fixed and working audio. Or the original F11 base distro kernel is probably OK, but not exactly ideal either I'd have thought. 

I've been very unlucky with F11 so far , I haven't had a good updated kernel that works with my usage requirements (but I don't think NFS server and audio working is too extreme a case!)

Comment 27 Tomasz Torcz 2009-08-13 14:29:54 UTC
There's 2.6.30 kernel for fc11 brewing at koji.fedoraproject.org.

> I'm also seeing this problem on F11-i686 with 2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11.i586  

That was said multiple times above (like ... ten? :).
Would you mind grabbing the 2.6.30-based kernel package from Koji and giving it a try?

Comment 31 Lonni J Friedman 2009-08-13 16:53:42 UTC
Is this the kernel you meant?

Comment 32 Benjamin Thery 2009-08-13 17:04:26 UTC
Thanks for the tips on the working kernels.
I'll try to revert to one of these ones.

BTW, I still don't see any 2.6.30 kernel in F11-testing repository. 
Where are we supposed to grab it (comment #30) to test it? 
Directly from koji? (I'm not sure it is safe enough for me)

Comment 33 Pedro Silva 2009-08-13 17:17:39 UTC
I've tested 2.6.30.4-25.fc11 from koji and the problem seems to be gone.

Comment 34 Wesley Tanaka 2009-08-14 06:32:48 UTC
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/kernel/2.6.30.4/25.fc11/i686/kernel-PAE-2.6.30.4-25.fc11.i686.rpm improves the situation for me also.

High load still causes the error in the title, but the subsequent CPU spinning doesn't seem to happen.

Comment 37 Glenn McKechnie 2009-08-16 04:20:28 UTC
Another vote of confidence for a koji.fedoraproject.org kernel - this one is kernel-2.6.30.5-28.rc2.fc11 by kyle. Along with the headers and devel rpms, akmod from rpmfusion built the Nvidia driver and now Rhythmbox and (most importantly) MythTV are working as previously with pulse audio.

Comment 43 Fdor 2009-08-23 12:46:34 UTC
An easy way to install kernel 2.6.30:

  yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update '*kernel*'

Kernel 2.6.30 fixes the bug for me. But I'm using it only for playing
media. When I need to use Internet, I'm booting a stable (2.6.29)
kernel.


Finally a reflexion: Having no media (video/audio) at Summer, is like
having no toys at Christmas. Do you see the point? What I mean is 
that I think this bug should have been marked as URGENT/CRITICAL, 
since it affects all media playing. More than two months to solve 
this bug is too much time. A normal user will have been 2 months with
out media playing.

Hollywood will be happy ("all those fedora linux hackers couldn't 
freely watch our films at Summer, muhahahahaha....") ;-)

I did yum remove kernel-thatdoesn'twork so that grub booted directly on a kernel which worked...

It looks like it works, I have tested on some quite long you tupe Android presentations without any problems.

However, It breaks compiz "Desktop Effects". When Desktop Effects is turned on, the mouse the computer freezes displaying just the desktop background and a frozen curser. I'm using Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)  graphics. So it seams that it is not only nvidia that is problematic

Comment 46 Luya Tshimbalanga 2009-08-24 05:47:22 UTC
This kernel update fixed driver issue from Intel Corporation 82852/855GM that runs LG LT20. Unlike #45, Desktop Effects is working fine with wobble and cube mode enabled.

Comment 47 Josep 2009-08-24 07:50:02 UTC
Kernel 2.6.30.5-32.fc11.i686.PAE from testing fixes the problem here too.
The hardware is "Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03)".

Comment 48 rick 2009-08-24 09:14:18 UTC
another vote for kernel 2.6.30.5-32, audio works fine again, and the nvidia installer package installs perfectly. (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.14-pkg1.run)
i am using "Audio Adapter  ICH4 - Intel ICH5"
and an Nvidia GeForce 6200/AGP/SSE2 graphics card.

Comment 49 Jani Ollikainen 2009-08-24 10:41:16 UTC
Tested kernel-2.6.30.5-32.fc11.i586 and it works.

Some similar messages in messages log file, but the sound keeps working, tested with 1 hour of youtube/spotify(wine).

unfortunately, I was too optimistic....it broke after 6.30 hours :-(

Comment 65 Josep 2009-09-08 15:33:30 UTC
Kernel 2.6.30.5-32.fc11.i686.PAE from testing solved the problem for me here. On the other hand the latest one from updates (2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i686.PAE), has introduced a problem with an application that runs under wine to play music:

The sound is chopped and seemigly playing much slowly than it should. I can sometimes play one song without a problem, but the second song will always be distorted. This is not a problem for other applications like rythmbox.
I don't see anything in /var/logs/messages other than the "Increasing wakeup watermark" that other people has already reported above.

This probably belongs to another bug report, but could it be related to this one? It must be due to something introduced between 2.6.30.5-32 and 2.6.30.5-43.

Comment 66 Peter Robinson 2009-09-08 15:38:36 UTC
Its much improved over 2.6.29 for me in that I actually have sound but its very quiet. Using the 2.6.31 kernel from rawhide makes it sound as loud as it should though.

Comment 67 Peter Robinson 2009-09-29 21:32:49 UTC
On Fedora 11 on my Dell D630 sound is now completely dead again using kernel 2.6.30.5-43.fc11.x86_64

Comment 68 Jessica Sterling 2009-10-03 17:31:58 UTC
Updating to kernel 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i586 has resolved the issue for me.

Comment 69 Jesse Keating 2009-10-21 22:16:19 UTC
Can anybody with these problems try the latest Fedora 12 kernel, as this is on a Fedora 12 blocker list.

Comment 70 Adam Williamson 2009-10-23 15:56:52 UTC
I don't see any report on here for F12, in fact, nor do any of the duplicates seem to be from F12 testing. I'm going to take this off the F12Blocker list as we're shadow-boxing at the moment. If anyone experiences this problem on F12, please file a new bug and set it to block the bug 'F12Blocker' (Lennart, if you're aware of anyone hitting this in F12, please do that!)

Comment 71 Lennart Poettering 2009-10-23 19:14:21 UTC
I think this one actually got fixed by now, so I'd suggest closing this and if someone manages to reproduce this he should open a new bug or even reopen this one.

Comment 72 Sebastian Paul Avarvarei 2010-01-13 22:38:13 UTC
I just installed Fedora 12 and my log is flooded every 5 seconds with:

Jan 13 23:27:28 hermes pulseaudio[2446]: ratelimit.c: 157 events suppressed
Jan 13 23:27:33 hermes pulseaudio[2446]: ratelimit.c: 162 events suppressed

Jan 13 23:27:48 hermes pulseaudio[2446]: ratelimit.c: 162 events suppressed

I'm not sure what's causing this, as currently I don't even have speakers connected to the PC. I did notice that it stopped when I stopped the mail-notification application, but when I restarted the application the error messages didn't show up again in the log.
