chanux, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the kernel in the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested and remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the text: needs-upstream-testing If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags: kernel-unable-to-test-upstream kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 536699 "hda-intel spurious response" messages and intermittent GDM startup with Intel D945GCLF Motherboard ** Package changed: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Tags added: kernel-sound lucid needs-kernel-logs needs-upstream- testing -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/616772 Title: Sound goes off when "Sound preferences" window opened. Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: pulseaudio I'm using ubuntu 10.04. The system is up to date. The machine is HP mini note 2133. When I open the sound preferences window, the sounds go off. It's not sudden. Sometimes when I move between tabs. Sometimes it takes some times. Just moving between tabs is enough. Once it crashes I can't see the whole sound preferences window becomes inactive. Indicator applet shows a speaker with 3 hyphen signs. I can reactivate this by running pulseaudio --kill While crashed chanux@nim:~$ ps aux |grep pulseaudio chanux 5940 0.0 0.1 101392 3588 ? S<sl 17:50 0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog chanux 5945 0.0 0.1 10748 2968 ? S 17:50 0:00 /usr/lib/pulseaudio/pulse/gconf-helper After running pulseaudio --kill chanux@nim:~$ ps aux |grep pulseaudio chanux 6047 6.7 0.2 94264 4812 ? S<sl 18:09 0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog chanux 6052 0.3 0.1 10748 2968 ? S 18:09 0:00 /usr/lib/pulseaudio/pulse/gconf-helper Apparently it restarts pulseaudio. Anyhow it fixes things until I try to change sound preference :P. And also chanux@nim:~$ dmesg | tail [34050.023308] hda-intel: spurious response 0x0:0x0, last cmd=0x171500 [34050.023320] hda-intel: spurious response 0x0:0x0, last cmd=0x171500 [34050.023350] hda-intel: spurious response 0x0:0x0, last cmd=0x171500 [34050.023362] hda-intel: spurious response 0x0:0x0, last cmd=0x171500 [34050.023391] hda-intel: spurious response 0x0:0x0, last cmd=0x171500 [34050.023403] hda-intel: spurious response 0x0:0x0, last cmd=0x171500 [34050.023433] hda-intel: spurious response 0x0:0x0, last cmd=0x171500 [34050.023445] hda-intel: spurious response 0x0:0x0, last cmd=0x171500 [34050.023475] hda-intel: spurious response 0x0:0x0, last cmd=0x171500 [34050.023486] hda-intel: spurious response 0x0:0x0, last cmd=0x171500 A google search about this "spurious response" thing lead me to a problem about alsa. chanux@nim:~$ cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21. And some pages recommend to compile the latest alsa (1.0.23.) which I can't do right now. Hope these info is helpful.
