[SOLVED]Sound randomly turn off during playback speakers deactivate

gnome 3
pulseaudio
ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0

My speakers was popping each time sound was activated but as per the wiki the constant popping was fixed.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad … g_playback

However there still is a pop during the boot process. Just as if there have been no playback for a certain amount of time the speakers will pop the first time sound is played as if the speakers have to turn on, furthermore the speakers will give a pop after a certain amount of time if not in use, as if they turn off. So basically it feels like the speakers are getting deactivated if not in use.

But even worse the sound will at times and what feels completely random, disappear during playback, this can be fixed by turning power off/on on the speakers control pod.

Re: [SOLVED]Sound randomly turn off during playback speakers deactivate

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=224560

aplay /dev/zero -f S16_LE

Starting aplay and further from ~/.config/autostart appear to be a fix. I'll give it a couple of days before I make it as solved.

If anyone care to explain what's going on here and if this is a hardware issue or if it's the way pulseaudio handle this particular hardware, or whatever, I would appreciate it. Also if anyone want to suggest any other fix that might seem a little less strange, I would like to try it out.

Re: [SOLVED]Sound randomly turn off during playback speakers deactivate

Did you already try to disable the suspension and exit-idle-time on pulse's side instead?

Like this? If so I'll give it a go and report back.

yeah rather unload (or adjust the system wide file and comment the value)

Re: [SOLVED]Sound randomly turn off during playback speakers deactivate

I clearly don't know but I believe a recent update, and I'm guessing kernel update, sort of fixed the issue. It is not a 100% but power saving at least now seem to work more as intended, the pops on boot are gone and so are the random disappearing of sound on playback. Still get a small pop when the speakers wake up along with at times a small delay before sound is played back. I still have not been able to disable power saving, no matter what.

On a side note, I picked up SB 5.1 Live card, because I could get it for the price of a pizza and it was right around the corner and I was curious.
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index. … ative_Labs
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index. … le-emu10k1
It did work, sort of, but SB live got it's whole own set of problems. Would recommend for a slice in a tight spot...

As I understand it this issue is a recent regression and not a hardware fault on my end. Just so happens that I was planing an upgrade soon, but otherwise, I would simply get a known working sound card on the cheap.

If anyone got more ideas or how to disable power saving mode I still got a couple of months to play around before I upgrade with new hardware.

Re: [SOLVED]Sound randomly turn off during playback speakers deactivate

Hmm? if your grep still says what it says power saving should be disabled for all intents and purposes on the kernel module side.

A small initial pop is likely to not be preventable.

Re: [SOLVED]Sound randomly turn off during playback speakers deactivate

Ouch, good catch!

My /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf was indeed messed up, although as the previous grep result tells I did have it right a couple of days ago, I've been doing a lot of messing around.

I would say that power saving on the speakers are now off and that I'm not experiencing any more pops. The pop and occasionally delay on sound occurred when the speakers woke up.

Thing is, that this setup have literally been working for years, except I did recently get new speakers, without me having to do anything. If there have been any pops in the past they must have been barely audible because I've never noticed any.

This is a bit quick but I really think it works now so I'll mark the thread as solved. Thank you.

Re: [SOLVED]Sound randomly turn off during playback speakers deactivate

Well there's also the fact that power_saving used to default to off, but was enabled with the 4.15 kernel config by default. I'm not entirely sure on the rationale for that change, since it does lead to confusion in quite a few cases.
