Title:
[Realtek ALC889] - Audio Playback Unavailable
Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
This is a fresh upgrade to raring. During the weekend, I updated from
precise to quantal, and from there to raring. I did not use sound
while the system was in quantal, so no idea if the bug was present
there as well.
The symptom is:
* after some period of sound usage, playback stops working
What I mean with sound usage is:
I tried having a meeting with: mumble, skype, and google hangout, and
in all three cases, audio input/outout will work just fine for ~5
minutes, and the playback just dies (people tell me they keep
listening to me, so mic works fine).
The only way to solve this is by rebooting. After one of the reboots,
I was able to play a 20 minute video with mplayer with no further
issue. Then opened skype and after ~3-5 minute talk, audio playback
died again.
