Hello, I have been having this problem lately: I cannot get any sound to play whenever I have some pdfs open. Here's the output of 'lsof |grep snd'
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsof |grep snd lsof: WARNING: can't stat() ext3 file system /dev/.static/dev Output information may be incomplete. mixer_app 2960 nishita 38u CHR 116,0 5411 /dev/snd/controlC0 xpdf.bin 12356 nishita 79r CHR 116,33 5261 /dev/snd/timer xpdf.bin 12356 nishita 80u CHR 116,16 5391 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p xpdf.bin 12356 nishita 81u CHR 116,0 5411 /dev/snd/controlC0 xpdf.bin 22504 nishita 79r CHR 116,33 5261 /dev/snd/timer xpdf.bin 22504 nishita 80u CHR 116,16 5391 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p xpdf.bin 22504 nishita 81u CHR 116,0 5411 /dev/snd/controlC0 I can get the sound back by closing all the pdf files and restarting the relevant application, but that is exteremly inconvenient. Is there any way I can refuse to let xpdf use the sound device? (I can't imagine what use it is of to xpdf anyway!)
