In the last couple of weeks I've had a curious problem on my Fedora-24/KDE Thinkpad T510 laptop. Sound (on YouTube for example) starts up fine on Firefox, but then suddenly stops working after 5 to 30 minutes. It's exactly the same with Google Chrome. I see nothing at all odd in journalctl -b0 ; alsa and pulseaudio seem to start fine, and then are no longer mentioned.
The only cure I have found is to re-boot. I've looked at <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_sound_problems> and <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_troubleshoot_sound_problems> and followed some of the suggestions there, but to no avail. There does not seem to have been any recent update to alsa or pulse-audio. I wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience? Or if anyone can suggest any possible alternative to re-booting? Incidentally, I can boot into Windows 10 on this laptop, and sound seems to work perfectly there. So it seems there is nothing wrong with the hardware. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
