Pulseaudio crashes after some time

Mixu · 2019-07-01 20:47:26

Hello people!

I have been using pulseaudio for quite some time, and now (maybe after an update?) crashes after some time, some times even if no audio is played.

I have changed client.conf, daemon.conf, default.pa files like they were on default, reinstalled pulseaudio several times, and it still keeps crashing.

My setup is the following, I have an NVidia card with an HDMI output, motherboard's audio is disabled, and an USB audio interface where I connect the speakers and my bass for playing using loopback module.

 aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: M20 [MIYO USB Audio 2.0], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]

Usually the crash is like this one, but when removing pulseaudio's customizations there's no warnings.

Killed

Now I was trying to configure ALSA and pulseadio at the same time and just got this message:

E: [alsa-sink-USB Audio] alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write.
E: [alsa-sink-USB Audio] alsa-sink.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_usb_audio'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers.
E: [alsa-sink-USB Audio] alsa-sink.c: We were woken up with POLLOUT set -- however a subsequent snd_pcm_avail() returned 0 or another value < min_avail.

When it crashes, on dmesg's output I can see the following:

If I play music with Spotify or some youtube video on Chromium, it crashes after a minute more or less.

Do you have any advice?
I've been trying lots of things but none is working.

Thanks in advance!

Not sure what 'auto' changes to, but have you tried setting an actually valid resampler like speex-float-5 ? still a crash here is weird, can you post a back trace of these: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … _core_dump

FWIW can you post these configurations and maybe

pacmd list-cards
pacmd list-sinks
pacmd list-sources

FWIW if it's really 'just' an assert in libspeex (which indeed did get an update recently so you might run into an honest regression here) you could check whether e.g. soxr-mq behaves better (or downgrade speexdsp to verify a regression there)

Just for testing, now it crashed when playing spotify, changed the song and moved the volume of spotify from the Pulse Audio Volume Controls.

EDIT: Just triend using soxr-mq resample method, and fails the same:

Tomorrow I'll try reverting lib speex.

And what happens if you heed that warning and unload/stop the equalizer module? FWIW I don't have any issues with the newer libspeex.

You are running at a sample spec of 192KHz. Does the assert disappear if you tone that down to 48000 ? Potentially something is biting you here during that extensive of a resampling process.

If I unload the equalizer module, the warning about it is not displayed, but it doesn't make any difference.
But if I force the default-sample-rate to 48000 in daemon.conf, it looks like it doesn't crash!

Funny thing is if I move the volume up and down quickly, when using 192KHz, it sounds like the audio is accelerated for the amount of time I move the slider. With 48000 it doesn't happen.

I'll keep some music running at 48000, and let's see if it crashes. Using 192KHz it crashes in less than 2 minutes.

Thanks again!

Well most music isn't available with that sampling rate so if you force pulse to open your card with that everything has to be resampled to that, that's an additional and potentially quite expensive process. While that's somewhat of the point of a resampler to convert to relevant rates so you might still have a genuine bug if you always had this set up like that and only ran into the assert now.

Mixu · 2019-07-02 20:41:01

Yes, it's been like more than a year with this setup.
If listening to spotify or youtube I don't care about the sample rate, but using audacious with some flac files... it's a difference. I have to force pulse to use 192KHz because otherwise, it stays at 44100 or 48000.
