Description of problem: The Soundcard crashes every few hours and creates only noise on the outputs. Also the Sound has many distrotions. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: The soundcard works more or less normally, but with distortions, but from time to time, when there is no music playing, the Soundcard-driver crashes and the soundcard creates noise with full level. After disconnect the soundcard, reconnect and kill pulseaudio, the soundcard works normally, but with distortions, again. Additional info: The failure appeared around Mai in Fedora 16 and is also after upgrading to 17 still there. dmesg-Output: disconnecting and connecting again: [41785.205104] usb 6-2: USB disconnect, device number 6 [41787.160084] usb 6-2: new full-speed USB device number 7 using uhci_hcd [41787.364099] usb 6-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0ccd, idProduct=0013 [41787.364105] usb 6-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=4 [41787.364109] usb 6-2: Product: PHASE 26 USB(16/48) [41787.364112] usb 6-2: Manufacturer: TerraTec [41787.364115] usb 6-2: SerialNumber: 11001 [41787.388102] ALSA sound/usb/mixer.c:866 2:0: cannot get min/max values for control 2 (id 2)
Thanks for filing an issue. It's not obvious from the dmesg output or from some searching on the web that this sound card is indeed using firmware provided by the alsa-firmware package. What firmware is it using? At this stage, there is not really enough information to help and since I don't have the hardware in question, I also can't attempt to reproduce it. Please be aware that problems with sound can be caused by many different software components within a Fedora system (including ALSA kernel modules, PulseAudio, desktop volume controls, individual applications, firmware and more) and tracking down the problem closer would help to have a chance of getting it solved.
