GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 345204
esound "hangs" after a short time
Last modified: 2006-06-18 05:57:12 UTC
Distribution: Gentoo Base System version 1.12.1 Package: esound Severity: major Version: GNOME2.14.1 0.2.x Gnome-Distributor: Gentoo Synopsis: esound "hangs" after a short time Bugzilla-Product: esound Bugzilla-Component: general Bugzilla-Version: 0.2.x Description: Description of Problem: esound 0.2.36 on Gentoo Linux, x86 When I use an application which uses esound/esd to "make noise", the output stops after a short period of time (~40 seconds) and esd then consumes about 100% CPU. Any application which might use esd hangs during this time . I'm using a "lousy" 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50) on my notebook. Any ideas about how I could debug that, so that sound works? I just tried Ubuntu 6.0.6 and there sound output works just fine - so it's not a (pure) hardware issue but rather a misconfiguration on my side. What can be done about it? ------- Bug created by bug-buddy at 2006-06-17 23:15 -------
