No sound when JDownloader is started

Hello everyone,

since approx. 3 month now i have a strange problem with my sound output:

Whenever JDownloader is started
-> Youtube videos do not start to play/if already started when JD is opened, the youtube player crashes
-> VLC/smplayer crash if a video/audio file is opened with them (VLC says: the audio device "default" could not be used, not enough memory on the device)
-> Amarok fails with a similar message

If i close JD then everything is working again.

I don't know my way around the sound systems in Arch/Linux in general for now.
I tried to search for the error online, but did not find anyting.
Can someone help?

Thanks, Lazarus

Re: No sound when JDownloader is started

OpenJDK7 has a memory leak bug, switch to openjdk8 doesn't limit itself to just sound
