Thread: Audio works fine, but then just stops after some time

so, audio , video stuff works fine while. after point, audio stops working. if try watch youtube video, there no audio , video plays couple seconds , stops , won't work more. if try use multimedia programs rhythmbox or totem movie player, start freak out (which means become unresponsive start up). problem goes away after reboot, not after logging out , in again.

have never seen problem happen before switching users, think might have that. using ubuntu 8.10. other specifications think list doing lshw:

code:

 *-multimedia              description: audio device              product: sbx00 azalia (intel hda)              vendor: ati technologies inc              physical id: 14.2              bus info: pci@0000:00:14.2              version: 00              width: 64 bits              clock: 33mhz              capabilities: pm bus_master cap_list              configuration: driver=hda intel latency=64 module=snd_hda_intel

ideas appreciated.

have had success this? have similar problem.

works right until @ random time if card disappeared; no sound can obtained , sound applications report problem hardware (i.e. kaffeine says there's problem xine initialization, spotify (under wine) says there's hardware problem, etc).

happens after several hours; leave computer working all-right , when come after going out there's no sound.

login out , in again cures problem big hassle. happens same kde4, gnome or xfce (this ubuntu 9.04).

hardware (i see uses de same driver you)

code:

*-multimedia               description: audio device               product: 82801g (ich7 family) high definition audio controller               vendor: intel corporation               physical id: 1b               bus info: pci@0000:00:1b.0               version: 01               width: 64 bits               clock: 33mhz               capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list               configuration: driver=hda intel latency=0 module=snd_hda_intel

the thing salient computer is atom fanless silent box http://www.tranquilpc.co.uk/. however, box temperature stable, couldn't see correlation high cpu , temperature loads.
