Audio Problems

Pulse Audio seems to stop working for some reason on my machine. I notice this when I go to a YouTube video and it just spins and does nothing.

I have tried killing using pulseaudio -k and pulseaudio --start but they fail to work.

The only way to resolve the problem is to reboot and this is VERY annoying. It's shades of Windows.

Is there any other way resolve this?

Thanks.

Re: Audio Problems

How does "a YouTube video and it just spins and does nothing" relate to audio? It sounds more like the video is not playing?
Do you maybe loose network access?

Please post a complete system journal covering such boot ("sudo journalctl -b -1" for the previous one, you can use the tip in the 1st link below to paste it to ix.io)

Re: Audio Problems

Youtube or at least chrome just stops playing if the audio device is inaccessible for some reason so there could indeed be a relation, post 

aplay -l
pacmd list-cards
pacmd list-sinks
sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*

in addition to the journal. (... though during actual reproduction of the issue before rebooting would be best)

Re: Audio Problems

All of these outputs are when the sound is currently working. Not when it somehow loses its settings and then stops working.

Odd, I get command not found when I try "aplay -L".

For the below I've noticed when it stops working other devices exist but I don't have that problem right now since it's working.

Re: Audio Problems

Which is why I specifically specified to post them when it isn't working. Other devices in the fuser output can be normal, but they should all be occupied by pulseaudio and not a potential different program.

Re: Audio Problems

% pacman -F aplay
extra/alsa-utils

Does it only happen when using headphones?

Re: Audio Problems

Install alsa-utils for aplay -l. However there doesn't appear to be an issue and the sound card is normally available though latency of zero reads weird. Do you see any messages in dmesg when it happens and Maybe 

pacmd list-sink-inputs
journalctl -b --user-unit=pulseaudio

as well.

No. I don't need to use headphones when it happens. In fact, I haven't used headphones in a month. It's arbitrary when it happens.

Found this is dmesg:

This is journalctl:

This is aplay -l:

Try disabling power saving on snd_hda_intel with e.g. a config in modprobe /etc/modprobe.d/disablePower.conf

I do not have that file at the location. Is it supposed to exist or do I have to create it?

Re: Audio Problems

The latter.
That's generally the case. Distro shipped module options reside in /usr/lib/modprobe.d (supposingly, some packages might still "falsely" install to /etc)
