Public bug reported: Running an Alienware system on (I believe) the internal audio. Chasing after a repeated interface crash (pointer visible and moving, but no response to input), I turned up the following in syslog:
Aug 20 06:47:53 goblin pulseaudio[15844]: alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write! Aug 20 06:47:53 goblin pulseaudio[15844]: alsa-sink.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_emu10k1'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers. Aug 20 06:47:53 goblin pulseaudio[15844]: alsa-sink.c: We were woken up with POLLOUT set -- however a subsequent snd_pcm_avail() returned 0 or another value < min_avail. ** Affects: alsa-driver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/830002 Title: Syslog messages declaring a bg in snd_emu10k1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/830002/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
