sound driver: connection refused

[brian_j]

hi,

i have a MSI P35 Neo3 Motherboard with onboard sound. the sound configuration says the sound chip is called "82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller". it works fine, but sometimes there is no sound until i restart. when this occurs and i try to open the volume control i get an error:

Connection failed: Connection refused.

i noticed this happens mostly either when i leave my PC alone for a while or if i try to play a flash movie on youtube or southparkstudios.com. the adobe flash plugin with firefox3 is used.

the steps from Audio Troubleshooting:

cat /proc/asound/version:

Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.16rc2 (Thu Jan 31 16:40:16 2008 UTC).

cat /proc/asound/modules

0 snd_hda_intel

cat /proc/asound/cards

0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
HDA Intel at 0xf9ff8000 irq 22

the /usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh shell however returned no adress:

Your ALSA information is located at
Please inform the person helping you.

the tsalsa script i can do tomorrow, if it helps. my english is good, but thats something iĺl have to look further into (whats the jack of a sound card?)

greetings

It refers to the input/output audio plugs (ie jacks).

For example on my PC I have an audio-plug for a microphone, line-in and also line-out, giving me 3-jacks.

Next time you have this sound problem, see if you can get it working by restarting alsa driver from a gnome-terminal / konsole with:

su -c 'rcalsasound restart'
