This is using dmix, however, so that seemed a bit weird. I normally have to close and reopen beep to resolve this. I believe xmms does the same thing because I've read about people having the exact same issue with xmms. This starts showing up when I start pressing play again: ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:196:(make_local_socket) connect failed: /tmp/alsa-dmix-30443-1118514847-814284: Connection refused ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:834:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to connect client ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:196:(make_local_socket) connect failed: /tmp/alsa-dmix-30443-1118514847-814284: No such file or directory ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:834:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to connect client ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:196:(make_local_socket) connect failed: /tmp/alsa-dmix-30443-1118514847-814284: No such file or directory ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:834:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to connect client ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:196:(make_local_socket) connect failed: /tmp/alsa-dmix-30443-1118514847-814284: No such file or directory ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:834:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to connect client ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:196:(make_local_socket) connect failed: /tmp/alsa-dmix-30443-1118514847-814284: No such file or directory However one thing which I've never seen mentioned in the previous reports, is that when trying to use another app through dmix it doesn't work either. Here's what mplayer says, when trying to play a video: alsa-init: 1 soundcard found, using: default ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:196:(make_local_socket) connect failed: /tmp/alsa-dmix-30443-1118514847-814284: No such file or directory ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:834:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to connect client alsa-init: playback open error: No such file or directory Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound. Audio: no sound so apparently something went wrong with /tmp/alsa-dmix-*. As soon as I closed beep, all other applications started working properly again, and when I start it back up again, it works fine again too, until it does this again. It seems to do it sporadically so it's somewhat hard to test for. Attached is my asoundrc. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Xero - 08-01-05 23:50 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I only notice this when using dmix...which I've not been using recently seeing as this card has 4 virtual stereo channels and all these problems got on my neves...it's enough to avoid having to use it...however I still get random distortion every once in a while...I'm thinking that distortion and this problem are caused by some sort of issue related to the card and dma inaccuracies...though I'm really not sure... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- perex - 08-18-05 12:00 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- It seems like similar bug to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=104884 .
