Audio Output Problem..

[Dark Star]

Hi
Well I can't say this is a particular Linux OS Issue.. But I been facing this issue with Linux.. Ok all Linux OS detect my Realteak AC97 Sound Chip and configure it work. But when I listen any kind of Audio .. There is a problem.. After few second or minutes there is no output , its not necessary that out vanishes only when I play , sometimes it vanishes just after I log On or at any time.... The Sound output vanishes.. and it sometimes come back again in few minutes/or after a long duration ? Whats exactly the problem !

I have faced this issue in different OS except Windows { I cannot confirm the current status with Windows cause I haven't used it for years } ? Can this be rectified? Do other Linux user face similar issue ?

Regards

not me, here my rare CMedia sound card was detected for which I struggled to get some old drivers in windows.

May be u should try
sudo killall pulseaudio

what driver does it use? intelx0? anyways try alsaconf in your mandriva and post the o/p of lspci.

I too faced the same problem in all version of Ubuntu(i think we both have the same nobo/soudcard 845gvsr) and it happened in Exaile & Audacious. Now i have switched to xine-based players and all is fine.

 

[Dark Star]

Huh.. I am using Amarok /Xine backend but nothing happened !

 

[praka123]

mandriva got "alsaconf" as separate package.install it from their repo(called cooker?)

 

[Dark Star]

Nopes no progress.. Tried alsaconf and disabled pulseaudio but to no avail Is my Sound CHip the defaulter ?

Bump..
