[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#573499: Package: alsa-base

Thu Mar 11 22:34:39 UTC 2010

Package: alsa-base
Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.21+dfsg-2
Severity: important

Sound sometimes works, sometimes doesn't (dependend on the boot up). I 
tried switching the soundcard with alsamixer (and enabling the channels).

It seems to work if the usb webcam isn't the first device.

In the logfile I can see following output:

Mar 9 20:45:06 tron pulseaudio[3682]: alsa-sink.c: Most likely this is 
a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_hda_intel'. Please report this issue to 
the ALSA developers.
Mar 9 20:45:06 tron pulseaudio[3682]: alsa-sink.c: We were woken up 
with POLLOUT set -- however a subsequent snd_pcm_avail() returned 0 or 
another value < min_avail.
