Description of Problem: I have sound enabled and am running kde. Sound works at first and then after some variable time it suddenly stops. Logoff and then log back in and sound works again Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): beta4, arts-1.0.0-1 How Reproducible: Difficult but it has happened at least three times now. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: sound stops, error messages in .xsession-errors Expected Results: works Additional Information: artsd is running both before and after the stopage. I found messages similar to the following in ~/.xsession-errors (I was playing kpoker when sound stopped): Audio File Library: could not open file '/usr/share/sounds/KDE_Beep_Beep.wav' [error 3] Audio File Library: could not open file '/usr/share/sounds/KDE_Beep_Beep.wav' [error 3] Audio File Library: could not open file '/usr/share/apps/kpoker/sounds/cardflip.wav' [error 3] Audio File Library: could not open file '/usr/share/apps/kpoker/sounds/cardflip.wav' [error 3] Audio File Library: could not open file '/usr/share/apps/kpoker/sounds/cardflip.wav' [error 3] Audio File Library: could not open file '/usr/share/apps/kpoker/sounds/lose.wav' [error 3] While it was kpoker this time, other times it was not.
OK, it happened again and again playing kpoker. I am going to let this system just sit as it is for now in the hopes that you might want me to look at something,
I can't reproduce this... Are you running any other applications? What soundcard are you using?
I figured this was not realy reproducable or others would have problems. The sound card is Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI (Rev 02) supported by the es1371 module. Whats running: kde plus usual stuff and 4 konsole windows, minimized mozilla, kpoker. The system is still in the state where sound quit and I can poke around whereever you suggest.
I just noticed some messages in /var/log/messages which seem to be timestamped about the time sound stopped: Apr 9 14:12:40 moscow modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-1 Apr 9 14:12:40 moscow modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-1-0 Apr 9 14:12:40 moscow modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-1 Apr 9 14:12:40 moscow modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-1-0 Apr 9 14:12:57 moscow modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-1 Apr 9 14:12:57 moscow modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-1-0 Apr 9 14:12:57 moscow modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-1 Apr 9 14:12:57 moscow modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-1-0
Does sound work once again if you kill artsd? This might be a duplicate of bug 62898
I have not tried just killing artsd since I was not sure how to properly start it again. However, I know that loging out and then back in does cure the problem.
I took a look at 62898 again and I had look at that one before submitting this one. While it may end up with being the same problem, it seems different since sound does work "for a while" and then dies. Logging out and back in gets sound working again. The way I read 62898, sound never works (I wonder if it works for gnome on that system).
I still can't reproduce this. Anyone else?
if you log in as another user (e.g. root) maybe you loose ownership of /dev/dsp??
i close it because we cannot reproduce this bug. Please reopen it if it's still there.
