Reproducing the bug took several minutes. During this time I tried things like running other programs that also use sound (banshee, VirtualBox), sliding the volume up and down, changing my monitor configuration between clone and extended displays, and so on.
None of these seemed to have a direct effect. Eventually after perfectly behaving for perhaps five or ten minutes, the sound cut out, and directly after, system performance seemed to degrade to unusabillty pretty quickly. I tried to switch to a VT but was unable. I am not sure if X were misbehaving or the kernel. Either way, here are all the attachments. ** Attachment added: "kern.log.1" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/777577/+attachment/2120263/+files/kern.log.1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/777577 Title: HDMI audio output hard freezes computer after a few moments of output -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
